There is antipathy, generally, towards the F4x BMWs because of their FWD focus. BMW long championed RWD as the "proper" driveline layout for "ultimate driving machines"; indeed, I think it used to ridicule some FWD brands as pretenders to any performance claims. This spawned many, many BMW enthusiasts (many on this site) who mimic that opinion without any personal experience.

IMO, if you like the car and it performs as you expect, just take any criticism from these quarters on the chin, and enjoy your drive 👍
