The times, they are a-Changing sang Bob Dylan, and they did. And for the most part, it�s for the better �or we�d still be living in caves. But when one of the staples of the motoring world embraces a new philosophy, be prepared for the purists to cry �FAIL�. The news of BMW adopting front-wheel-drive for its future compact models is the perfect example.
For decades Munich has bombarded us with its naturally aspirated in-line engines, be that with 4, 6, 8 or 10 cylinders along with 50/50 perfect weight distribution and the �ultimate driving machine� tag.
Now turbos are all the rage, even in the M-division and they are trickling down to the rest of the lineup in the name of fuel economy and CO2 emissions. But a FWD BMW? Where is this world coming to?
