Yeah...unfortunately the world has changed. Due to economic and political/social factors, the generational view on automobiles has shifted drastically. Very few people value a proper motor, engaging handling/steering, light weight, etc. anymore. Tech and environmental friendliness is in, all that other stuff is out. I can't imagine the irony of the "ultimate driving machine" driving itself, having one gear, no Inline 6, etc. but BMW really has no choice.
