Yes, but I think it also indicates BMW's new direction, which is more and more towards luxury as opposed to pure sport. Another indication of this would be the new Z4's weight gain in addition to a more luxuious interior and additional creature comforts and features.

I don't particularly like BMWs new direction. The only 2009 car I would even consider is the M3. After that car goes the way of turbos I'm done with new BMWs.
