Honestly I'd rather BMW stop making the M3 and instead make a small RWD sedan.
And I would much rather see BMW sacrifice the smaller cars to RWD so we see some awesome new developments from the M division and the higher end vehicles.

Like Scott26 said... The typical buyer of the smaller cars isn't too concerned about the FWD vs RWD but more the styling and cuteness (look at the success of Mini).

I'm not thrilled about FWD BMWs but am willing to sacrifice the smaller cars to FWD as I can't see myself buying any small BMW other than maybe a Z roadster one day... actually no - not even that small - I would go for a 6-series convertible instead.
