Dissapointment with BMWs to come must read

[e30conv]

Well the Mini has a Mini badge and was originally FWD so this doesnt count although I could argue the Mini would be twice as fun in RWD.
Guess I'm just a hater when it comes to fwd, I hate torque steer and love drifting
Not trying to rant too much but, I hate automatics as much as fwd as they are unreliable and expensive to fix and boring as hell. Standards seem like they are becoming a thing of the past, it seems everyone buying new cars today has a lazy left foot.
Have you been to a Jeep dealership lately? My buddy was test driving wranglers and asked for a stick and they had none, wtf is wrong with people today
done ranting

Um... is everyone forgetting the Mini?

Seems like it.

Who cares? I wouldn't ever buy any newer BMW anyway. BMW is a very different company now then it was in the e30 era. I'm an e30 enthusiast not a BMW enthusiast.

Took the words out of my finger tips.

I like this guy, he knows his shit.

They don't call him Buttchug for nothing...

[agent]

This is old news. BMW will make fwd for their econo-cars and rwd for the rest of the lineups.

Who cares? I wouldn't ever buy any newer BMW anyway. BMW is a very different company now then it was in the e30 era. I'm an e30 enthusiast not a BMW enthusiast. I don't even want to be associated with the stereotypical demographic that buys new BMWs.

The only way I care even remotely about BMW is OEM parts availability.

As long as the e30 is unaffected I could care less.

Fixed.

80% of people don't know the difference or can feel it when they drive. I've seen countless people putting snow chains on the rear wheels of their accord, Camry ect.

Cars for people who don't give a shit how the thing works but have the money to pay the badge.
What surprises me is that BMW has the need for that kind of customer.

All we need now is a fwd, automatic only, 4 door X6M! :weak:

[dburgoon]

Nothing to see here. As has been mentioend, this is only going to be used in economy cars - not the flagship miodels. If anything, you should be more dissapointed with the fact that they're going to be making the 6-series a 4-door...

This! A 4 door 6 series that's called a grand coupe is worse news then fwd cars.

"As for BMW rear-wheel-drive purists, BMW says there may not be so many after all, at least among its small-car enthusiasts. Chief Executive Norbert Reithofer said a survey of BMW 1 Series drivers two years ago showed four out of five already thought their car was front-wheel-drive."

I wonder how many were leasing?

Probably 4 out of 5? lol

[Deathtoll]

As long as the three series is unaffected I could care less.
