In the 1980s the compact performance sedan was the primary driver of sales for a company like BMW. Times have drastically changed...
Exactly! BMW used to focus on the car first rather than producing a car to rival a competitors model. Its like if someone puts out a model that they cant rival with, theyll quickly tweak a similar model, relabel it and boom.
