I agree that BMWs are becoming less enthusiast oriented, but adding a smaller engine to the lineup is harmless.

What is not harmless is switching the smaller cars in their lineup to FWD, removing feel from the steering, softening the suspension too much, or weighing cars down with non-optional luxury features that don't enhance the driving experience.
