There are some classic bpost overreactions on this thread. Someone even slagged the entire country of the UK in retaliation for the opinions of one English person
I actually agree with all of the article, save for not having an opinion on those cars i haven't driven myself. Yeah, it's kinda harsh on the F80, but not wrong. Although BMW's done it's best to fix some of the issues with the Comp/CS/GTS.
Their broad opinions that the SUV's being “misses” are not wrong either, if being a "miss" means that they don't align with the M ethos. They don't. Doesn't mean that they can't be good vehicles that their owners enjoy, of course, but they're pretty far from what M was originally about.
