This is the unfortunate reality of expanding a successful business. Porsche gets away with cars like the cayman R and GT3 RS because they have HUGE profit margins in their vehicles. In an effort to increase total sales BMW is eliminating those types of models with their trademark german efficiency. And the "M" division is turning into a giant marketing machine meant to ask premium dollars for models that already make no sense in standard form (vis a vie; the X6 and 1 series coupe ).
Sadly my next car will no doubt be a Lotus or Porsche....
