When I go to gernany for vacation i want no speed limits, pilsner and sausages. Not sushi and white wine.
This comment would be noteworthy only if BMW was the only luxury automaker to do this but BMW's main competitors in MB and Audi have had FWD offerings for some time. BMW isn't going to out-sell MB without FWD offerings and it's like some of you don't quite understand that catering to the hardcore audience is not how automakers become successful. BMW isn't Porsche and it's never going to be. They need to sell passenger vehicles in high volume to remain sustainable.
