Keep in mind what funds the M-cars!
I mean, those discussions weren’t wrong. It only took a dozen more years for BMW to loose the plot with the likes of the F30 and a zillion more SUVs.

I’m not a BMW enthusiast, but, rather, a driving enthusiast, and I’d have been fine if both Porsche and BMW just quit after around 2012.
