Dude, you’re putting a lot of stock in C&D. It’s worth just a bit more than the toilet paper next to it in the restroom at work, and I’m surprised you actually subscribe to it. If you are a die hard BMW fan who gives a shit what they think?

But it’s true, non-M BMWs are so boring now. They have crammed so many models into the lineup it’s hard to even keep up anymore, and the future only promises to shoehorn even more in there. This just waters down the attention they need during development and the lines between the different series are more and more blurred as they continue to have cars share parts and systems across series lines. Even worse, following recent news, even the M badge is going to get watered down quite a bit in the near future.

Hate to break it to you, because you seem to yearn for the heyday of the brand. That’s long gone, but there’s nothing wrong with being a die hard fan by any means. Just don’t fool yourself and look for validation of the brand’s worth in waiting room carmagazine reviews and monthly sales numbers. Like BMWs for the reasons you like BMWs. Don’t worry about what the others say.
