This blows big time for BMW loyalists like us but BMW has made it clear since the release of the E89 and every subsequent redesign since that they don't care for us.

Porsche said they have no plans to make an autonomous vehicle which is delightful. But I wonder how they will fare given how a lot of Cayenne and Panamera customers don't care about driving dynamics either.
Well said. But hopefully BMW won't completely forget about us and give us cars too..like the M2.

They can make all the self driving status symbal long wheel base cars for china as they want. As long as they also give us some nice cars.
