And yes, I'm sure it will be a hoot to drive. The Mercedes GLA45 AMG is also front wheel drive biased and also has electric steering, and all reviews I have read are that it is an awesome car to drive. So yes, it can be done.

Yes, it can be done. Between my wife and I, we've had 6 BMWs. I buy a lot of cars and I always come back to them because nothing else seems to drive the same. We won't know how the new FWD platform with be until we drive it but, from the look of the video, BMW hasn't forgotten about the performance aspect of the vehicle. I mean, let's face it, the X1 isn't a sports car......but that doesn't mean it still can't be fun to drive.
