Like ovekvam said, BMW is moving away from its core values.
If two more seats are somehow added to the GT86, it looks awfully similar to the E30 M3. If they manage to squeeze that 3.5L Camry engine in the 86, BMW will have to be very careful, but, one can always fancy.
It seems that BMW has gone from an engineering-driven company to something following the decisions of bean counters. The appearance of FWD is because a good portion of the cars are used by corporate cars, and most simply can't tell the difference in daily traffic jam.
I find it deeply disappointing not to have a factory backed LSD even as an option. I have begun playing with the temperature gauge and start keeping a little journal for my own interest. I doubt anyone will pay attention to real drivers as they are (all 'em big German car makers) busy trying to fill up Every Single Segment of the market from 1 Series to 7 series with coupes but with four doors ("gran coupe") and sedans with trunks from vans (GTs).
