Dun dun dun

So today I was thinking about the future of BMW and whether or not I would be interested in the purchase of a Z1 if it was attractively styled and had good dynamics. Lately I've been pondering leasing a Mini Cooper S since I live between two big cities. After I took a test drive and was impressed by the front wheel drive, and the car on the whole. With the announcement of a potential Z1 I reconsidered whether I would be interested in having a model like that. I love rear wheel drive and how much steering feel this allows BMW to give us but then I had a thought.

With recent models having sub par brand steering, could BMW be preparing us for the worst. They have been getting us ready for the steering feel their future FWD cars will have. Why would they do this? They are just getting us ready- maybe by the time the fwd models come out they will have improved the steering enough for us to say "well it's better then the F30" and so on.

Could this be the beginning of the end? Let me know what you think.
