Id probably be angrier if this was some company making econoboxes, but if enshitification wants to target the cars of the rich, fuckin' go for it.

    The people driving those cars are probably closer to you than to the BMW CEO. They're the same price as what trucks sell for these days and at some point they'll reach the second-hand market and their price comes down quick.

    True. I just bought a 1-year-old 330i, and it's less than my wife's Kia SUV (We live in Michigan, have three kids and two dogs, so it makes sense for us to have one big bus that can go off-road, else we'd have something smaller and electric). The BMW also costs far less than a pickup truck of the same age and mileage. US manufacturers have been transitioning out of the business of making sedans for years, because they're not popular here. It is just a sea of SUVs and pickup trucks.

    I do have a subscription to all kinds of "connected car" crap for the first year, but I'm going to turn all of that junk off when I make some other modifications later this year. I think the subscription is actually pretty cheap, but I just don't want a bunch of spyware reporting back my location and speed.
