A BMW sports sedan/coupe should be something that's a lot of fun to drive, that is connected to the road, but at the same time is a car you can take to Costco, or running other errands, or transporting a couple of other people somewhere in the normal course of your existence. I can do that to some extent with the Porsche, but I really have to make some serious compromises and design my trips accordingly.
BMW doesn't need to make cars that are fun to drive anymore; they can get by on their reputation as a luxury car maker and compete for that market with the likes of Lexus, and Infinity, and Mercedes, which is coincidentally what they are doing.
I also don't need to buy one, it's a free country/world (or most of it).
