Is it primarily the clueless American,?

Is it the person that calls themself an " old school " BMW owner ?


Or is it just BMW fans around the world ?

Either way, I agree with you. I am tired of these so called " enthusiasts " that feel they know more about what it is to make a BMW than BMW AG.

They claim " dilution of the brand ". As if that actually makes any sense.
Amazing you don't drive Toyota. Selling 10 million vehicles in 12 months, shows they really know very well what the customer wants. Yet those so called "enthusiasts" always keep yelling for a new Supra.

Now it's been having some of the best fiscal quarters it's ever seen...

Weird how that works...

If companies listened to self-claimed "enthusiasts" innovation would be dead and these companies would be stagnant.
Exactly. That is why Toyota doesn't build Supra anymore. Look how much money they make, more than any other car company in the world.
The difference clearly is that one company IS building sports cars and the other has not for over a decade. You are gonna need a lot better analogy.
