The fact is, BMW in 2019 is not the same as BMW in 1989 or even 1999. They aren't making cars that are invincibly cool; they are making cars to sell a badge. There's nothing inherently "cool" about BMW right now, IMO. As uncool as Kia/Hyundai seems it's not that far off the BMW track as you seem to think...
You're a funny chap, the JL can be viewed as uncool as well, I raise you my imaginary A. Lange & Sohne. Since when is the cool factor a requirement for car purchase lol. Epic nonsense, the 3er was never a cool car, a Bugatti can be considered cool but not a BMW, unless we are talking about an M1. BMW is in the business of selling mass produced cars and turning a profit, that has always been the case.
