This is the company that used to preach in their marketing brochures that NA engines are superior to FI. RWD is superior to FWD or AWD. 50/50 weight distribution is key. Each one slowly going away.

..overextension fears me as well.... BMW is a Toyota / Apple philosophy now.. hopefully will be more Apple than Toyota
