[QUOTE="Traveler, post: 409318, member: 7248"] If it's based off the MINI platform I think the driving pleasure should still be there. The MINIs are known for their driving agility. I drive a R56 MINI One (normal suspension) on a semi-regular basis, and I find it's cornering ability to be very good, I routinely take high-speed corners (in city highways) at the same speed as my E90 (M-Sport suspension), and felt the main difference to be a bit more body roll. From the articles I've read, I'm guessing the move to FWD is to find more interior space, as the RWD systems take up quite a bit of space on smaller vehicle sizes. One of the articles specifically mention the sacrifices in interior space needed for the RWD 1-series. It appears to me that this is only for the smallest BMW, or whatever is based off the MINI platform. I don't think they would mess with the tried-tested-and-successful formula for the rest of the range. [/QUOTE]
