Heck, my folks refused to trade in their 2013 E70 X5 M sport with factory performance upgrades because the F15 felt like crap in comparison! BMW has gone mainstream and lost the die hards who they built their reputation on.
Being an active member of BMW CCA, I would say that is not completely true. There are many BMW die hards that are not lost.
