True, that's exactly what's happening. They're trying to be like Toyota or Lexus. They're even copying the big, ugly grills! The only other car in the BMW lineup I would consider is the 2 Series Coupe because it's the only car that still has any old school driving dynamics, but even that is limited because they have electronic steering. This is the crux of the problem. All new cars across the spectrum by every brand have lost the old school Mojo.
