This site is composed of the most avid BMW fans out there, and most of us are pissed off with the decisions you have made lately, so does this not mean anything to you? And about the supercar ordeal, you havent made one because you dont seem to think you can sell it, and supercars are not just vanity projects, they are the epitome of automotive engineering and the good ones live to become legends like the M1 and 507. So shut up with your little bullshit talk and build us another 507.
I agree, just look at what happened to Rover. They had an unsurpassed reputation for quality before stupid cars like the SD1 and the rebadged BL crap spoiled it all.

A smaller company like BMW shouldn't be too hard to kill in a decade.
