I think it is simply a question of sheer increase in volume of M3(4) produced and sold over the generations, the car has simply become more mainstream, and the majority of folks now only want the fastest and "best looking" 3/4 series.
They've made it more cushy, that's for sure, but it's still a pain in the ass to drive.

I had a 530i as a loaner last week while I got my winters put on and my CS serviced. I hadn't driven a luxury car in so long I forgot how nice it is. Imagine my friend, having a center console and climate control in the backseat?
