RWD, manual transmissions, best in class steering feel, 50/50 weight, lots of noise and drama. X models with RWD biases and quick autos. Driver focused interiors with fewer distractions. That should be the focus. Otherwise you're so close to Merc/Audi that you'll lose sales easily with small disadvantages.

I cannot fathom why BMW is throwing away the elements that led to its stratospheric in sales. Just to compete on blandess, overstyling.

Better yet, implement that electric turbo pre-charger

Totally agree with you on that, day hey spent to much money on other stuff like gesture control. Lol

I really care less for that because I never use it. I can change volume on steering wheel much quicker. It's just waist of R&D it could go in more useful areas.
