It's probably the FWD proportions of having longer front overhangs than the distance from the center of the wheel to the front door.
Yes. The long front overhang, but that awful position of the A-pillar being set so far forward is what really gives away the FWD mechanicals. The windshield base sits much further forward in comparison to "real" BMWs and takes away the traditional long hood proportion.

It brings to mind Dodge and their extreme "cab forward" FWD cars back in the early '90s.
