They cannot rely on old business. We are better off WITH a BMW than without.
Of course they need to adapt with the shift in consumer tastes, but they went overboard. When supposed driver-oriented models like the 2/3/4-series and Z4 have been getting lukewarm reviews since 2009 you know something is very wrong.
Their sales numbers paint a very different picture.
