It's not my cup of tea, but I could see my wife liking it. She could not give a stuff about FWD vs. RWD.

dont be so sure, the torque steer on our r56 mini cooper scared the crap out of my wife, we both hated it and it's the main reason the car is gone.

Jesus Christ the 1 series is bad enough. What's next negative integers?

P.S I love the 1 series.

My 1er was assembled in Germany. My E90 was assembled in Africa or something.

ha, yea really....i just signed up for this board to post on a different thread, but this one got me too....

this is enough bmw.....you already expanded even further with the 1 series, you now have a pointless x5 and x6 ///M. Seriously, really? Why? M cars should be for the track, SUVs are for taking off road and to the beach. Sorry I'm getting off topic already on my first post here, but why no z4 M? I mean that car would be way more in line with the M philosophy.

So back to the point, a FWD 0 series would slightly ruin BMW for me forever.

I love the look and size of it, but not so much the FWD part... My guess is it won't be sold in the US anyway.

It's turbo diesel, diesel engines love boost. If that car comes out, watch the tuner market start chipping them and making huge power. Real sleeper.

Yes FWD is lame, but turbo diesel isn't

No! Anything but this!
