I don't doubt we'll see BMW M start to play with FWD cars/platforms. Everybody gets caught up in the allusion of what BMW M is but at the end of the day, it's about performance regardless of powertrain, transmission, chassis. BMW will give them a platform and they will tweak it and make it a M car. I dare anyone to go out and drive a JCW Cooper and tell us BMW won't have the slightest clue how to make a high performance FWD car.
The days of a brand having to be x and y are over. Every company in this segment are changing and moving a bit away from what we originally knew them as/for. I'm sure traditional fans of Cadillac and Lexus are complaining that they're going a bit too sporty like BMW fans are complaining that they're becoming too soft.
