So much change in such a short period of time...

I understand that companies need to change/adapt to the market but what I can't stand is companies backtracking on their advertisements. You can't say FWD doesn't make an "Ultimate Driving Machine" and then produce a car.

With so many new models being introduced, would it hurt BMW to try to differentiate their brand? This may sound ridiculous to some people but if you want a FWD, go get a MINI - BMW should try to push that to market the MINI marque (it's not like the MINI doesn't have that fun factor BMW has, in fact, it might be even more fun minus the refined/comfort feel of BMW's.)

As a customer, this doesn't really affect me - I'll still look at BMW's for cars, my choices would just be slim. As a fan of the brand, very disappointed. I think BMW is trying way too hard to do way too much, and while that might be a good thing from a business point of view, I have a feeling it's going to negatively affect core models like the 3-Series.
