Not to join the party and continue the bash but the point that most people here are trying to make is that yes Porsche offers "halo" cars along side its mainstream cars but the fact is that Porsche's DNA is in its mainstream cars. No matter if you buy a base Panamera or a base diesel Cayenne, it still drives like a Porsche.

Most here understand the basic concept of growth and we understand that BMW needs to grow to stay afloat. We as long term BMW customers are just disappointed that we "have" to buy an M4 GTS to somewhat get a car that "feels" like what a BMW should feel like. Why can't a base 320i still be fun to drive? I agree with others here, a base non sport W205 C Class drives better than a base non sport F30 320i.
