Why do you say that? BMW has never really made ANY production cars with performance as the top priority. Their M cars (M2, M3, M4, M6) are all fairly slow mostly because of their weight and honestly the fastest cars in BMW's lineup are the Alpina B6 and M760i (both of which are 0-60 in 3.6 per BMW, tested at 3.4) and neither are really that great in comparison to other luxury performance cars.
