Same situation going on with the 2-series. BMW M division fighting with the bean counters on whether the next gen 2-series should be rwd or fwd.

Time to face the facts, bean counters are running BMW right now.
Yep. Good short term for business, bad long term for the brand.

But they shouldnt build the supercar based on my thoughts since I probably wont be able to afford it. I do think theyre lacking a major halo car and the i8 is not it from a performance standpoint.
