You cannot argue with that.

Also,
More money = more research and development therefore better cars and more choices.
More money means more money for CEO and big shareholders. The reason they are doing this is to spend less on research and development. The result cars will be meh. The only chance for a car to be good with such architecture, is to be the model the base is designed for. For example, a 5er is in the middle so they can design the frame for it and then shrink/grow it for 3er and 7er. Or this can be the smaller car like 3er and from there add for 5 and 7 series. Either way there will be compromises that we will not like.
