There must be a good reason for it, but I wonder why you can't build a fwd car with a rwd proportion? It must be the transverse mounting of the motor dictates where the wheels are relative to the nose of the car. But that long bonnet and tight front overhang is what makes a BMW... this is a Mini.
I have absolutely been waiting for this car for a long time, I need it to be available with a stick so I can replace my E90 with it. FWD is a disappointment, though I hope it is available with a RWD-biased torque split. Most importantly, this car needs to come with a stick and the x-drive. Like a Mini does.
SCOTT26... why didn't BMW just take the E90 platform and start selling it as a 1 series, like they did with the X1? Now that the 3er is huge, the E90 is a small car! I know the E90 tooling was sold off, but it's a shame to waste such a brilliant platform like that.
