BMW isn't what it used to be as it has gotten a tad complacent since 2009 (E89 and F10 were the beginning of the numb EPS era) and the competition has made strides. The ///M cars are still good overall but they drive the same as their AMG and RS competitors. Fast but numb and isolated. They don't have the "feel" they used to.

But OP is exaggerating a bit, BMWs still hold their own in their respective segments. Aside from the new 7-series they haven't completely shat the bed on any recent models. Their SUVs are pretty much all either the first or second best options in each class, and the new 5-series is also extremely good.

The F30 was a disappointment though, hopefully the next 3-series becomes the clear segment leader as the E90, E46, etc. were.
