Enter this car, Mercedes A220, Audi A3. All of these are FWD entry level models. This is what this segment wants.

If you so desire a compact RWD new BMW, your local dealer will be happy to put you behind the wheel of a 230i, 240i or M2.
I was commenting entirely on aesthetics. I think they look bad. Headlights, nose, and shape are wrong
