We as consumers should always demand as much as we can from the companies that make our products.
Do I own stock in BMW? No. Do I want them to thrive (or more appropriately under the current circumstances, survive)? Yes.

Not in the interests of the majority of their customer base or not to the liking of the forum members who, we can all agree, do not represent the buying patterns of the general public?

If a company loses their way and alienates their customers yes, they deserve to go out of business. I have a business. If my product suffers, my sales suffer.

However, that is not what is happening. This is a bold direction, sure. But these people for the last year have made it seem like BMW is on a personal crusade to ruin their lives by changing the shape of a grille.
