I remember driving much simpler and 'fun' cars back in my younger days, the changes are not something limited to BMW and Porsche.

For me, the issues for current models are much deeper than simply saying BMW has lost the plot.

A sideways look at something like the safety and weight of cars, is all against the requirements of the driving enthusiast. Take something like the width of cars... interesting article by Richard Bremner in AutoCar news, August 4th. The width 'subject' is just one aspect of why we are, where we are, today.
