Again, my point is that neither carving out a US niche nor chasing Tesla is going to "fix" BMW for the enthusiast crowd that criticizes them. We want a modern 2002 or E46 M3, which won't sell well in today's United States.
So then they build something like the F30, which is not good and prevents the M models it's based on from being good. As opposed to say, the e46, which was so good that it made its ultimate form, the M3 CSL, legendary.
Finally, what you call "haranguing", I call customer feedback. This is one of the largest bmw forums in the world, and an extremely valuable source of customer feedback that they get for free. I hope they're at least reading, even if they ultimately choose not to do anything about it. And ultimately I will make a choice with my wallet like I always do
Btw, dropping the whole "if you don't like it, why don't you leave" "argument" is a really poor way to continue a discussion. Are you not really interested in having one, or seeing differing viewpoints?
