Why not? They make literally every car fucking imaginable. They should be competing across the board in enthusiast/motorsport segments. The M3/4 is embarrassing this generation. The M5/6 is lagging as well. The i8 was a proof of concept. That leaves the M2, which isn't out yet, and they killed the 1. So they need to succeed somewhere, maybe it's in the lightweight roadster category?

Agreed in that the FWD roadster was a catastrophically horrible idea.
Maybe we have a difference in opinion or what embarrassing is to one individual, but calling the best M3/4 we've had since the E30 embarrassing is ridiculous and unfair.

F80>e9x m3
F80>e46 although subjective on the looks I prefer the E46
The E36 besides the sedan the coupe was just plain boring...

I get not everyone likes turbos and loves NA 8-9k rpm motors. But BMW has done an outstanding job on the F80 and put me down for one in a couple of years...
