This article reminds of the book "car guys vs bean counters"

I just saw the new 435i configurator and if you select M-Sport package, you are forced to take NAV with touchpad. Now I know many here consider that a performance option....I don't. It takes away from the driving experience IMO. What worries me is this type of lameness from BMW which I'm worried will creep into the M2. I am withholding judgement, but I have a baaaaaaaaad feeling. Since those of us that like our sports cars raw are in the minority, BMW caters to the majority which want super fast rolling couch arcades.

This will only heighten the stripper 1Ms future desirability especially since only 10-15% were low option cars.
