At what point will they admit this design direction was not a good idea? Only when after the first adapters/"must get new" people get their cars and the sells drop off?

Being the only manufacturer that offers a 6MT RWD car is not enough incentive for a buyer to ignore this design blunder.
You can move on. Others will come.

Remember the hunchback E65 7-Series from 2002-2008? Best selling 7er in history. None of the 2 generations that came after it were able to top or surpass the sales number of the E65.

Back then it was an outcry over this car. Haters abound. And yet it was a resounding sales success. BMW knows that controversial and polarizing design sells. Time will tell...
