It's been great while it lasted! My Z4M Roadster will be the last BMW I ever own, unless of course I buy one or two more Z4Ms.

BMW will have always have a small RWD, the M235i, M2 and the 1 M are reasons why BMW won't let that go. Question is how creative they will get with the platform and numerous models.
Yeah there will be FWD stuff but BMW's heart is RWD |

I have no doubt BMW will always have something for the enthusiast. They'll cheeze down on their pedestrian models (they already did) but they wont disappoint where it really matters.

A lot of the reasoning behind fwd in the newer BMW's is down to new smaller engines, number of cylinders, they mount in a fwd orientation.
The larger engines will still remain rwd / awd. It's a bigger choice of range and functionality to the customer. |

According to this the 1 series sedan is already going to FWD and the inline 6 won't fit in a transverse configuration so probably 4 cylinder only.
