    this doesnt shock me at all. its logical. i wont ever own one. but what really disappoints me is that they're thinking of moving away from the I6. bmw is one of the few companies that still makes a straight 6. and theyre badass

        I do have to agree, that is somewhat lame. It's one of the things I LOVE about BMWs.

                Now, correct me if I'm wrong but, isn't the current FIA WTCC winner a Chevy Cruze? Which is front wheel drive? Which beat the BMW 320si, which is rear wheel drive?

                    The original Mini Cooper was FWD - so I guess it's not a big deal.

                    I bet you BMW is going to make SOME FWD cars. It's not like they are switching to ALL FWD.

                            I know people right now who won't buy a BMW because they're not FWD.

                                I bet the FWD BMW will never make over the to U.S.

                                    Just point them to the FWD V6 BMWs on craigslist...

                                    Wait. Those people shouldn't be driving BMWs in the first place.

                                                You guys are retarded, they would never make the M3 FWD.

                                                And by the way, FWD is one thing but most of you would never know if it was a I6 or a V6 under your hood if it wasn't for this forum.

                                                The next gen M3 (F30) is rumored to have 440HP from a twin turbo v6. Ill take that any day of the week. And the CEO of BMW said that they would never stop producing their I-6 engines even though they predict the inline turbo four will outsell it due to light weight and better economy.
