I was never against the launch of first FWD 2AT because of it's completely different audience compared to rest of BMW, but 1 Series attracted those keen on driving. Current FWD 1 series is a poor substitute in comparison to previous gens and the scheduled arrival of the F70 gen doesn't address the main issue with current car: it being FWD. Sad news for which we have the current buyers of FWD BMW to blame...
A short wheelbase RWD 5d car with low center of gravity is epic. Any usp that small BMWs (besides for those just buying for the badge) had is completely lost now. 1 Series should be a small 3 Series like the G42 2 Series Coupe. All hope has been lost if Neue Klasse for the lower end of the product line will be FWD based. It's a Mad World when other brands start doing electric RWD's and BMW instead moves away from it's dna.

The 1 series is practically a Mini Cooper now
