why would you think BMW could fit a 3.0l 6 in a FWD platform? Use a wee bit of common sense.
Why would BMW go front wheel drive on a "m performance" branded car. The x1 used the 3.0l on a xdrive plateform, and it was a great setup. BMW is based off "The Ultimate Driving Machine" and releases like this make it seem like there not appealing to that at all, especially using there M Performance brand. I don't doubt the car would be a good car, but it could be so much better..
