I don't foresee any chance of BMW ceasing to exist, but a return to a simpler product line and a few simple things like LSD availability and lighter cars would not hurt things.

It's not like they cheated on diesel emissions, that we know of...
Yeah that last bit wasn't directed at you directly (I can see how it'd come off that way). That was more so a broad statement mocking the attitude of some people on here every single time sales figures are released.
We've dealt with doom and gloom for a few years now. The LCI helped the F30, The F10 is about to go away, G series are supposed to be lighter. All good things.

MINI is just lost, and priced out of the market though.
