It can sometimes seem a bit pathological to those who don’t subscribe to that mindset.

There are definitely haters out there but not everyone is trolling.
It seems to me it's not one universal pro-bmw bubble, lot's of the people in the g87 forum don't like the new m3/m4 grille, most everyone doesn't like the XM. I think it's just different people liking different cars and other people really dis-liking them.

Honestly the only thing that ruffles my feather is implying that other people's subjective takes are invalid. Such as brain-dead takes like "The only reason anyone would want to look back at the G87 and appreciate it (vs the G42) is if they were a true M car snob.". I think the G87 is miles better looking than the g42 and implying that it's just because of the badge is hilarious.
