I think that it all depends on the extent of the commonality. A common chassis does not necessarily mean the same type of suspension, which means variations on driving characteristics and capabilities. With today's computerization, what was true awhile ago, does not mean it is true today - small tweaks can make a huge difference, and using CFRP thrown in, you can extend things and customize the strength, stiffness, and other characteristics you need...it really is a game changer, and BMW is gearing itself up to be a leader in this.
IOW, many of the generalities of even a year or two ago, may no longer apply.
Wait and see...obsessing over it or bashing it is all premature. Give them some credit. Wait for the end result, then decide. Preconceived notions are notoriously dangerous and often inaccurate. Only time will tell.
