The decision is ongoing. The incoming CEO has other ideas which the company are investigating.
Well let's hope those ideas get put out with the trash where they belong.

RWD small M car is the halo for BMW, the rest of the rep is built and rides on this. More fool BMW if they forget this.

I don't own an M but I would be skeptical about buying another Bimmer next if they dilute the small car range too much from the 50:50 RWD config, especially by inflating the size every generation. If I want FWD I'll buy a golf GTi thanks.
