When I heard that BMW was jumping on the FWD bandwagon, I was positive since I thought that they would become more affordable.
Building a FWD platform is negative for almost everything, except interiour space and of assembly activity & of assembly material.
No, what they did is sticker it FULL price for top margin. This vehicle is way too expensive for how it drives. And it doesn't drive like a BMW, a real one that is. The few occassions I drove it were all seriously underwhelming. But I have to admit that I don't like my X3 either, I refer to it as our "mutant wannabe all terrain". At least, it's RWD biased and that's something you can feel in daily driving (don't need a track for that, accelerating out of any T-junction is sufficient).
