Read your post again. They don't say "the fastest machine". Fun trumps .01sec faster around a track that most enthusiasts will never drive. Every time.

A base 230i with a 6MT is so much more fun than a 340i with an Automatic. No comparison.

BMW is no longer a car for those who want to have a fun and sporty vehicle. They are just a Merc C class or Lexus E class with a different badge. Nice car, to be sure, but not a 'fun' car.
Yea but it's not called ultimate "driver's" machine...
