3s-a-charm, I am with you on the RWD/FWD thing. BMW has proven with Mini that FWD can be a blast and VW has done it with the GTI.
Overall, I remain a bit confused as to the future of the 1 series models as they exist now. It seems the future 1 series will not be anything like the present I6 models on sale in the US now and for another year or so.
There will be a 2 series something, but just what this is a bit hazy.
Anyway, when production stops on the present 1 series, it looks like there will not be a BMW as small as the 1 coupe with an engine as big as the N55 in our future, except possibly as an M (with a pressurized to the max 4) in small quantities and a higher price.
