BMW has evolved from a manufacturer of sports cars, offering a handful of models that were all sporty in their own ways, to a manufacturer that wants to provide a model to ALL types of buyer. It's an easy-to-understand business model on the surface, unfortunately for the casual BMW enthusiast that had experience with past heritage, it means you're going to have to PONY UP to get a higher trim level, whereas in the past even the lesser models did everything well for their time period.
