Reminds me of a "revised" 318i. I never liked that car.

yet more models holy cow.

All were missing is the M1,M2,M7, some sort of M model for the X3 and X5, soon the X6, also the X7 may'be bring back the 8 series or have a 9 series that closes the gap between the 7 series and rolls royce. Also some sort of Z5, Z6 lol the Z9 coming ... how about also the Z7.

Just become like MB models coming out of their ying-yang

BMW has stated that they will never make an M version of the 7 series or any of their SUV's. So no, I doubt they will pull a Mercedes on us.

Looks like a Toyota fighter.
It will sell "just because". God forbid Acura had the RSX....people said it "cheapened" the brand. However for BMW, people are bending over for it.

I'll never really considered BMW as a luxury brand. They're more sport-luxury than anything. I don't really understand why Acura gets a bad rep for the RSX.
Acura isn't a high-end luxury company. If they were we'd be seeing RWD sedans with huge engines. Given they have luxury components within the cars, they're often just a Honda reskinned. Not like that's a bad thing, they manage to keep selling well so you can't knock them for that. I just personally wouldn't buy an Acura.

Seems this is the way many brands are going.. VW/Audi, MB, BMW, even Porsche now.. all of them are looking to expand their offerings.
