It wasn't sudden, it took BMW a while. It wasn't a tangent; it was spot on
.
Ford forgot what the Mustang was too with the Gen 2 back in the '70s and then almost with the what-was-to-eventually-become the Probe. And by the way, the 3-series really became "luxurious" only after the debut of Lexus and Acura. The E21, E30, and E36 were no more luxurious than a Honda at the time.
