On a track is where you can see some FWD tendencies but really how many people are going to be tracking these cars as 99.9% will be used for commuting.

i am the 0.1% though lol

It's a backward step from my M140i

6 cylinder to 4 pot
340bhp to 302 bhp
Dull boring design just looks like a Ford

Poor effort BMW you won't win many UK sales with this

While you are correct in your observations about performance related to the prior 1 Series, I highly doubt BMW will not sell a crapload of these new cars.

...Except for the fact that the vast majority of F20 sales had three or four cylinders and 150 bhp or less.
