I'm always happy when I see new models like the M4 GTS or the M2, but this just robs my satisfaction with the BMW group.

Like many others said, these cars water down the brand.
It's been happening for a while, and it isn't just BMW. Audi and MB are also pursuing volume markets previously the preserve of the Japanese, with a wide range of model variants. If you want "exclusive" start your budget at $USD100k+
