That made no sense to me as well. You need a flared arch to house thicker rubber and flared arch in the back means larger rear tires, which helps RWD. Four wheel drive typically does not stagger.
This is interesting, if they come out with a M1 I may just get back into another 1 unless its the same N54 engine. Another inconsistency worth noting is why introduce the M model so late in the model cycle. The new 1 series will be out in Europe in a year. Although 1 coupe was just introduced 2 years ago I can't see them continue to sell the coupe for another 4-5 years.
