this probably is the future design language for Coupe SUVs

I just don’t understand this. I can understand new BMW buyers getting the X1 or X2 or 2er GC, but why would an established BMW owner willingly choose to go from a properly mounted inline six rwd designed BMW with a ZF transmission to a sideways mounted four banger fwd designed “BMW” with an Aisin transaxle?! As a side note - are y’all aware the xDrive in these cars is not the xDrive you are used to? They are 100% fwd until the system detects wheel spin of the front wheels and only then is any power directed to the rear wheels and then only for as long as absolutely necessary. If transverse mounted fwd is your choice then why pay the fairly substantial premium for a BMW roundel? There are almost limitless other options available for substantially less money.
