look at what they've done to the three series...its all over the roads driven soccer moms...average and enormous. Just keep making everything bigger, heavier and appealing to the masses...all while ruining the brand...can you say GM and Ford of the late 90's and early 2000's
Well, I agree with most comment here; however, all other car manufacturers also improve by big margin in recent years. A Hyundai Genesis has more HP than 335i and about similar weight. BMW has to compete with its peers to capture market share. Lotus is a good example who can't sell any more cars and suffer to survive.

What BMW should do perhaps is to do focus on one or two core products like the upcoming M4/M3, which will be lighter and faster.

Lastly, I am a happy BMW customer who enjoys the luxury and sport nature of my M5, best car I've ever owned.
