I personally think it's a bummer given that the majority of people who bought 1 series before should've known its handling characteristic is largely thanks to the FR platform and they will surely miss it when they experience the typical FF understeer in the corner with the new one
I understand that FF gives more space+cheaper to manufacture+make ppl want to go for 3 series, but isn't this killing the one major reason to buy bimmer at the entry level? Would like to hear your thoughts.
