 | BMW 0-Series Thread (Rumours & info) see http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=308960 CAR Magazine's current issue supposedly has an article about an upcoming 0-series? Some type of BMW compact car that's supposed to slot under the 1-series and based on the Mini (meaning FWD). I don't remember seeing this new lower entry BMW model discussed here, or maybe it was but with a different name  |

| I bought that issue when I was stuck in that den of eniquity they call "Heathrow Terminal 5" before flying to Cape Town. there is no concrete plans for a FWD BMW , But we have developed a modular platform that can switch to both FWD and RWD and allow the negine to be mounted at the front , rear or in the middle. The genius of the platform is it can be shrunk or expanded to incorporate the model , The 1er and the 3er in their next generations will be examples of this. It also allows BMW to differ between models by mounting suspension mounts , firewalls making them unique to the model. Which will help distinguish them from each other. |

| CAR has always been credible. They were the very first to report Merc's 4-door coupe (to be the CLS), McLaren P8, and so on. There WILL be a BMW beneath the 1-series. Hell it's just been confirmed by the post above mine. Can he swear there will NEVER be a small FWD BMW ? No he CAN'T. I rest my case. |

| I would think they would build a 1/4,1/2 or 1/3-series before a 0 series. Even from a marketing stand point it sound horrible.
