I always liked the fact that BMW didn't make a SUV
|
X5? X3?
And I wouldn't consider the 1-series a pure hatch. It looks like one, but it just seems like a hatchback body forced onto a coupe chassis.

it looks like what the 1-series should've looked like... a nice renault clio-style hatch. Except with better headroom and legroom.
BMW F330d? Why not?

I highly doubt they'll put together a FWD car when all their marketing trumpets is their RWD prowess.
However... if they do, that's when they can guarantee the purists to chastize them without remorse.

I don't like the way all the premium makes have decided to go out and build all these fanciful models for very specific tastes. Sooner or later, Audi and BMW will have gone well into double digits, and Mercedes will not be far behind in conquering all 26 letters of the alphabet. Yes, the ideas may be worthwhile, but they're not staying true to the spirit of the badge.
