For an old bastard like me who grew up on RWD BMW sport sedans, a FWD BMW is a joke, a seriously not funny joke.
Meh to be fair, using the same platform for a car is different than straight up rebadging. Cadillac uses the same platforms that RWD Chevys use, nothing wrong with that.

With that said, I do think its sad that everyone is moving towards FWD models. Mercedes did it with the CLA now BMW is following suit. Guess everyone wants a piece of the new entry level market.
