Just because it's FWD, doesn't mean that it'll be boring to drive.

I wouldn't drive one, but I can understand why BMW is building one. They're late to the party. Audi A3's and MB CLA's have been dominating the segment, lining their pockets. VW needs that A3 money now more than ever...

Using RWD wouldn't help BMW to be cost competitive. May as well leverage the FWD platforms you got at Mini.
