Trying to pander to the nuevo riche instead of making good cars is what ruined it. There was a lot of money to be made, but there were costs.
Fortunately we all get to stand back watch BMW absolutely shred their integrity. BMW on the other hand has to live it. They have to wake up every day, feel that emptiness in their crotch and realize that sex change was a mistake.

This is what is wrong with kids these days.
The guy took a brand with styling well liked for being sophisticated yet restrained to a degree and turned it into a parody of angular cars of the period.

BMW was always nouveau riche. The E30 was THE perennial yuppie car throughout its lifespan and the brand was seen as a youthful and fun alternative to the old guard of Cadillacs and Lincolns. The only difference is that their cars didn't have nearly as much shit to fail on them back then.
