BMW to make FWD

It looks like this could go into production in 2012 for the European market.

Grrr…it better be AWD.

Fail.

That clearly is just a chop, which AE is known for; So don’t get too excited about the image. It most likely WILL NOT look like that.

If they can price the car competitively against the fiesta, or many of the other JP models in this segment; it might work. RWD or not, to be honest, the target buyers of this segment like new soccer mom’s and those spoiled high school brats who can’t even parallel park won’t really give a shit.

Diversify is the way to go for BMW and FWD can help keep the cost down.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that BMW will not make a FWD car.

looks sick bmw should stick to RWD def something i would want in a car like that

Quoted for imminent phail when the 2043 J92 BMW -425cixs comes out.

^actually made me lol

Counter-fail: ‘x’ denotes AWD.

i’m aware, but i figured BMW would be so far from “their roots” at that point that they’d disregard that

Hey arent you getting an E36 M3? What’s the deadline on that?

we got a funnyboi on our hands here :lol

I dont get it? I thought you were definitely, without a doubt, purchasing one? WHAT’S THE DEAL KRAMER?

i got smart and realized that car payments suck :number1 :ahh

man when i thought i hated chris bangle, then this thing shows up.

shame on them for even considering fwd.

Thats a good looking Mini :shifty

BMW hasnt had a fwd car before? I didnt know that.

I don’t think they have… Even this dopeness is rear wheel driven-

Since 2001
