Wow. You're the exact opposite of a hooner. You're an expert driver!
Thanks for sharing. Some day next year I hope to do my first track day.
And yes, I dread the day that the 3 Series becomes the smallest RWD BMW. But who are we to second-guess BMW management? They have the big picture, the long-term plan. Their obligation to BMW shareholders is to increase worldwide sales, market share, and profitability. All while investing enough in R&D to stay ahead of the competition in at least some areas of automotive technology.
Tough job. But we all knew that. And if BMW management thinks that small = FWD, medium = RWD, large = RWD, and M = AWD, then so be it. The long-term success of the company is the most important goal.
