In a car forum context, it stands for Front Wheel Drive.
And BMW is traditionally rear wheel drive biased, but is slowly changing to the chagrin of enthusiasts who prefer less understeer and no rear lift during acceleration.
The next X1 might be FWD based, which is great for soccer moms, but not so nice for those who prefer sporty and RWD-bias.
