Quite the OPPOSITE. This is how the company gets STRONGER. More successful models = more sales
More sales = more income. More income means the COMPANY DOESNT GO UNDER. More income = ability to create more niche/unique/specific models. More unique/specific/niche models = things like a halo car like an M1.... or vehicles like a CSL ... or unique vehicles for racing like the M235... the 1M... or perhaps bringing back something like the 8 series... or a new Z8... ? while CORE models like the M3... M5... M6 still exist.
Except Mercrdes offers its customers cars like the SLS AMG and V12/black series models of most of their top cars. Audi on the other hand has a V10 supercar and the S8. What does BMW have?

If Mercedes and Audi are going downmarket they are also going upmarket at the same time. If BMW "needs" money from FWD vehicles to build higher end cars, then where is the new 8 series, Z8 or M1? Instead we BMW fans get a 3cyl "me too" sports car that will get walked by Mustangs and Camaros.
