I get your point. I don't think it is realistic.
If we go back 10-20 years to the smaller 3 and 5 series please tell me how they can get air bags, nav, comfort seats, DVD screens, HUD, and all the other features that are required to stay competitive into the same size car?
Cars have increased in size and weight due to customer demand for more features.
Take HUD (head up display for example), it cannot go into a car unless the dash is designed deeper to accomodate the projector.
How do they get rear climate control into cars unless there is ample room to run the system through the chassis and interior.
All these features that have cropped up over the years require room to install. If they did not make the room, then folks would complain that the same options on a 7 are not available on a 5, etc.
In BMW's view, if you want small, they offer a mini or the 1 series.
