The below results chart tells the story, in particular check the bottom. I remember the days when MB/Audi fans complaining...
wait a minute, so the AMG is the most powerful, walks the other in 0-60, blows the door off the others in the 1/4 mile, etc., and the Bimmer is worst in all those categories... but yet the BMW wins because of road feel, handling, ride and something called "Fun Factor"? WTF!??? BMW must be paying these publications on the side.
Now the tables have turned and BMW loses in all these road feel & handling categories driving them to last place. BMW got what they wanted, they reap what they sowed. If the point was sales, BMW market share compared to MB/Audi/Porsche is no better than 15 years ago. It's not working except driving BMW enthusiasts to Porsche.
