The things BMW has been doing the last couple years are just pushing us more and more to Porsche. Even the interiors of the new cars are garbage and are filled with cheap shiny plastics. The switches on the center panels feel like crap in the new cars and have no travel.
The list goes on and on. It's very sad.

Couldn't agree more. I've always been an apologist for the brand, and I've bought BMW/M almost exclusively for 20 years now, but I'm feeling pretty disenfranchised as a customer, especially on the sports car front.
I'm going to hold onto my M3CS as long as possible - that car is wonderful, but if I was in the market for a new car today, I'd be looking at Porsche.
