And unfortunately this is why money talks. Why would BMW care about the 5% bimmerpost car enthusiasts when they can cater to the 95% M buyers who buy M products for the name and status, and by doing so, implementing reduced production costs and thereby increasing margins? Why must BMW spend money to develop a DCT with higher power handling capabilities when 95% of the M drivers don't even know the difference between an automatic or DCT?
