What next? Having to be waterboarded, eat bugs, and a stay at Guantanamo Bay for the privilege of owning an all electric 3 series? Maybe its time to shop around.

Yeah this hasn't been a good year for enthusiasts.

I cancelled my CCA membership this year, don't get enough value out of it. 5+ years as a member. I just turned 30 and have owned three BMWs in a short period, with the expectation of adding another this fall.
I'm in a very similar boat. We were going to add an M440i this Summer and were considering another ED. Now that option is off the table. I don't get it.
