And he went on to give the example of new 5 ser beeing a less sports car than the E60. I would go on to add to that list the Z4, X3, 7ser...

The brand is getting watered down to pander to the masses. More weight for AWD, poorer cornering dynamics, car-like clearance, shorter hood. More power to BMW if they can find buyers but the current X1 is a far better deal and more practical.
