It might not be the most attractive car ever, but for the segment it does an incredible job fusing form with function. This is by no means a pointless vehicle. Just let BMW sell these cars so they can spend more money on making cars for you! Do you think 95% of drivers question the prestige of the BMW marque? IF THIS CAR IS CAPABLE OF DESTROYING BMW's BRAND PRESENCE, THEN BMW NEVER HAD ANY BRAND PRESENCE AT ALL.
The problem is that BMW won't use these profits to then build cars for me. They are going to use these profits to build even more stupid cars that I don't want while further softening the core models.
