Now, to simply make extra money, they are abandoning all that they preached about simply for the sake of dollar bills.

This would be like a preacher, becoming a pornographer, or a thief or a bank robber or a criminal.

They are going against everything they said made their vehicles superior to everybody else's vehicles, and many people see that as hypocritical.
+1 now lets see whether the closet BMW fans like the one who posted before you get the picture.
By that did you refer me? One of "the closest BMW fans"? I am not sure what you mean by "closest BMW fans"... :

At any rate, I just posted in response to Fraggy and your response crossed. Assuming you are actually trying to label myself a BMW fan boy, to that I will respond:

I just bought my 2nd BMW in my life after 10+ cars (lost count!). E46 325i 5MT and now E92 M3. I am probably fan boy of just my E92 M3 and am keenly curious about BMW products and racing development but not a fan boy of BMW in general. I will probably jump into a suitable p-car in a heartbeat, think GT3 heehee... prob not just a regular 911.

You may think I am "defending" anything BMW but no, I am just stating the validity in BMW making compact FWD and I stated to the effect that those cars are not for everyone - not for me either. So that can't possibly make me a fan boy by any definition. In fact I don't get their GT directions and absolutely hate the 5er GT as a car but doesn't make me feel I need to weep about that thing has the same roundel badge my M3 has.

My point to you, don't label people after just seeing one post from them. Read, listen and observe.
