It's a travesty, but we should all be used to it after a few years with the X1/2. Maybe BMW determined that today's yuppies don't care about drivetrain layout, but I would argue you can always tell the difference in looks and feel.

Blame it on the youths of today, most don't even know the difference between RWD/FWD. It's not BMW's fault, it's all about supply and demand.
