BMW greenlights FWDbullshit

Great story. Compelling and rich.....

Want the badge... Sounds like they want to cater to the douchebag crowd. I don't know why they feel the need to do a FWD entry level for people. I know they wanna reach a larger market but dang, a bmw is a bmw. Don't water down the brand.

I can see it now. " o that's just the cheap model, mines better. " what am I saying, people already say that about our E30's. Lol (replace cheap with old)

Meh. It's just one model series. Companies that diversify succeed. Let them have their FWD lineup. Keeps the RWD ones alive.

bmw is turning into audi more everyday

Maybe because Audi is killing the game right now, and for good reason.

[AdironRider]

I have no doubt this will most likely be one of the best FWD cars out there, but man new BMW's just don't do it for me.

Companies need to grow/change to survive but damn I miss the 3/5/7 days.

[FlexdXJ]

Last time I checked BMW is in the business to make money, not cater to us "purists".

Same with Jeep.....:/ Fuckers!

[lambo]

Drive backwards.

Insta-rwd.

audis tend to explode after 100-150,000miles, i don't want that

[Cephas]

I thought people who cared about traction in inclimate weather just bought AWD...

[mikeedler]

^ not people who don't have the money........ We just received a new 435i at the dealership I work at last week, the window sticker price is 72,000€............. that's about $80,000 for a non M coupe???????? In Europe the front wheel drive cars will SELL like CRAZY.

But why does it have to be the only one that isn't morbidly obese? take the 7er or make another new one, christ.

....and fuck the above people.

/rant.

Who cares? We're not the demographic.

I'd rather see BMW remain profitable and independent.

the new M3/M4 is surprisingly light weight.

I'm wondering why there's no thread on it yet - really - the whole package of the new M3/m4 makes the current and past generations of the M3 seem "cute".
