Take off your sales hat - you don't work there anymore

It doesn't make any "business sense" to drive any of these cars when a Corolla and Camry will get you to work in the same amount of time with AC and a radio
BMW is a business. Businesses need to make money. It's that simple. BMW has to keep shareholders are happy. What makes share holders happy? Money. We go full circle. It's not about what you drive, it's about fully thinking through what you're saying.
The Quandts have done a respectable job of staying independent. I would question how many more anodyne cars like the F series or outright failures like the i series they can weather though.

I'll watch from the sidelines, from inside a VW and an Audi (two VW's.)
