The reason why everyone is so loudly against this abomination is because this car will also give BMW the means to further reduce the range of models appealing to the enthusiasts. When 5GT came, BMW took away 5 series Touring. When 3GT and X1 came, BMW took away the RWD and/or manual 3 series Touring. When this thing comes, BMW will again find something good to take away.
BTW, ladies and gentlemen, have you seen the new C-classe? That's one really good looking car.

BMW took these models and transmissions away because no one was buying them.
No one wanted the E61 and E91. And there is not much interest in the F31 in the USA also. The 5er GT sold three years worth of E61 in one year.
