Why should they not be considered as enthusiasts when their choice is directly related to the attributes of the vehicles in question?
A BMW enthusiast does not have to be an M only "enthusiast" anyone who buys a BMW either the latest,classic or even well used should be allowed to share in the enthusiasm of the brand even if their first BMW is the bare entry 116i.

Those people can be enthusiastic about their automobile choices but that doesn't make them enthusiasts. Enthusiasts lust over cars that have soul. Cars that you ogled over as a teenager. Even if you can't afford them you hope some day you will. Trust me, no one is lusting over the GT and Xs and the rest of the ho-hum family haulers. We understand that BMW needs to make $$$$, they are a business after all but if they dilute the 'image', long term it may be the wrong choice to do so. Don't get me wrong, the 5GT for example is an amazing vehicle for what it is. Probably best in its class. Not an enthusiast car though.
