I would be very upset if the new FWD cars no longer handle like the RWD cars. Although I know that there is physical limitation which makes FWD cars understeer at high speed, I want to hold onto the roller coaster bar and see what magic BMW can deliver. After all, they promise the ultimate driving machine to their fans.
Maybe fitting an Integral Active Steering or something would make the FWD handles like a RWD.
RWD has some disadvantages too. Climbing for RWD is quite inefficient, just like how we push a shopping kart up the curb. FWD will deliver a smoother climbing experience. If X1 gets a FWD along with IAS, maybe the over all driving experience could be better.
