100% agree with the article. an M car was based for those that are car enthusiasts. Do car enthusiasts need all the high tech stuff in their M car? I don't think so.

Do M drivers need turbo? I don't think so. Do M drivers need good gas mileage? I don't think so. If you can afford an M car, last thing you should worry about is gas mileage.

IMO, BMW has taken a mercedes AMG approach. If i wanted an AMG i would have bought one. They are starting to make "soft" consumer friendly cars. Not enthusiast friendly.

I don't know about the rest on this forum, but i am on my last M. There is no way i will be paying $80k for a car that is consumer based, not enthusiast based.

Next car options: CLK63 black series. Gallardo. R8. CLK63 sedan. you get the point. I do like the new m5 but something about it just seems "soft"

Anyways, im done with my rant. Good luck to BMW, but they don't really need "luck" as their sales #s are looking very good, which is obviously what they are after.
