Yeah this makes sense. Knowing that BMW will keep the hard top vert to cater to Chinese women and that it is becoming the dominant market, BMW will keep on this trend. Becoming more Audi-esque will give them a larger slice of the pie.
Plus where can you open up your sports car there?

I always liked BMW because you got sport with more than 2 seats. And if cars go automated then I rather have luxury as well. I guess it's function over form with the GT, but hope to see function and form in future M models.
