It's been nearly a decade later and needless to say, people care about tech and comfort even more now. And thanks to Instagram culture the need to show off a badge is even bigger too.
For every 1 dude/gal like us there's probably 99 who don't give a shit how the car drives.

+1, Most of the car buying public, especially when it comes to luxury cars, don't really know/care about what they're buying. Of course we enthusiasts and forum members do, but not everyone is like us or really cares about these details that are important to us (sadly). When I was leasing my 540i, I was talking to another customer at the dealership while waiting, he was telling me about how he was about to get his fifth BMW, he loved the brand and loved his cars, but he wasn't educated on the brand or the cars and he said "My 535i has a great 3.5L V6 engine" this then lead to me explaining to him what an Inline 6 was and how BMW's nomenclature works, which was not an easy conversation, but it goes to show just what some people think they know about their cars.
