All true but give BMW some credit for the last stand in turbo ICE engine RWD manuals AND AWD super car performance with the latest M cars.

Since there is no competition, they could have easily exited the market early like everyone else. They did not. Instead they designed an incredibly dynamic and aesthetic package in the G8x platform that delivers the performance, feel, and emotional connection.

Some are still beating the big grill dead horse, and I really tried to hate for the last couple years rolling around in what is arguably the pinnacle of sports sedan design/ aesthetics, the F80. However, in person, in real life, actually experiencing the G8x design, it has a physical presence that is undeniably evocative and garners the appropriate attention and positive comments from the general public. People love it and rightfully so. Agree that BMW has knocked another one out of the park compared to the non-existent competition when they didn't really have to, and that high sales of this platform only reinforce the viability of service, parts, aftermarket support, etc. for decades to come while we can still enjoy it before the EV killjoy machine comes to completely suck the soul out of driving. Even the F8x is still in very high demand. People are paying the same used price for a higher mileage example that we did 6 years ago.
