The funny thing is within a few years most of those naysayers trade up for the new model. Rinse and repeat.

Power corrupts, comfort corrupts, reliability corrupts, tech. corrupts, fashion changes. All of these are usually enhanced with a new model.
Once you get enough exposure it’s hard to withstand.
We have had a lot of BMWs and only once was the new model such a huge downgrade of key areas that we couldn’t take it and dumped the car. It was the F10 5 series vs the E60 and we haven’t bought a funfer after it. All of the others since the 80s we learned to appreciate the improvements...and power
Is the G8X the F10 of the M3? Highly doubt it.
