Even the M5. Whilst in Porsche you have Cayenne subsidizing the 911s, the SLS AMG being subsidized by Mercedes, BMW does not allow such practices. Whether a bmw model turns out to be profitable or not it doesn't matter. It's the "intention" of BMW to roll out every model with profitability in mind. BMW M division have been crying for a SLS equivalent project. project was rejected. Not because BMW did not have the technical knowhow or engineering skill, but it because it was not profitable as a model. Although the M division did give BMW x5m, x6m, cushy M cars, etc. So that gives you an idea and impression that BMW is no longer interested in producing UDMs. I respect BMW of wanting to be at the forth most of the car industry with its green movement. Nonetheless, it's saddens me that they are producing such cars with no consideration for enthusiast who helped build this company. At least retake the crown jewel and do a "SLS". Anyway the post is about the new 520 and 528 model. My view is that I'm disappointed at the models. I'm entitled to that view?</blockquote>
