How much does this suck...
Taken from a c&d article about the next gen 3 series. Speculation at this point, but good grief, I hope it doesn't come to fruition.

People who think that about the 1 series and end up buying it and still think that should have there cars revoked by BMW and reinstated only after said people have been "reeducated" otherwise they should be lobotomized.

" BMW research has shown that many 1-series drivers believe they own a front-driver anyway, "
Who are these F--ing people that think the 1er is FWD? Are you kidding me

Making the next gen 1-series a FWD would defeat the purpose of making an M version. They may make a FWD 1-series, but I doubt it will be the only option available for the car.

If any of you can't read what it says, it states "That's why we don't have front wheel drives."

So how many of you have been asked if your car is front wheel drive or rear wheel drive? I haven't. Where does that supposed "research" come from?

Repost of a repost.
There's already a HUGE thread out there on this rumor of BMW going FWD, and their "research" regarding 1 series drivers... We all agreed it was a BS figure that BMW is attempting to justify a change to the next 1 series or the 0 series. |

Ya'll must remember that the 1 series in Europe are as ubiquitous as Civics are here. Remember not too long ago the announcement that BMW has already delivered its 1 millionth 1 series?
I'm only saying this because as a reflection of this mass appeal for the "cheap" BMW, the vast mojority of 1er owners in Europe are your everyday commuters, not BMW enthusiasts.

In my opinion it came straight from some executives ass, as he's trying to justify such an idiotic idea as a FWD BMW. It's hard for me to even imagine anyone thinking these cars are FWD, let alone a majority. Even my mother (who cares nothing about cars) knows stuff like this. |
