I hope future 1 and 2-Series models live up to our expectations as enthusiasts. Porsche keeps calling to me like a siren in the mist !

I don't think it's the Germans falling out of love with the car culture. It's the younger generations that don't really care about anything but "BMW Apps". I think it's generational, not national, or cultural.
