Nobody is bitchin about BMW makin suv's etc. Imagine Porsche takin the RS badge and slapping it on everything.
Even BMW realised their cars arent what they used to be, the 5 and 7 series used to be best in class. Now they're usually in the middle of the pack in almost every group test.
I know the poser racer doesnt give a $hit as long as the car has a BMW badge and they got the interior/exterior lastest trendy color combo. There was a time when the 5 series (E39,E60) slaughtered the competion in handling,driving pleasure etc.
The F80/82 is going to be lighter than the car it replaces, the next 5 and 7 will use extensive lightweight materials. Maybe they started listening to the true enthusiasts.
