Since Scott was talking about a 4cyl. engine which could be used in the X1M AND the M2 I'm confused about how this is possible?! So far I know you can't use a transverse mounted engine in the front made for FWD also for RWD, or change it (easy) to RWD setup. - please correct me if I'm wrong.
I don't know the date when the interview was given, I think I found it here on bimmerpost and only saved the scans myself at 30th oct. 2013. Scotts infos or rumours (?) are definitely newer but I don't think decisions like that change so fast in this branche. I hope Scott is wrong, the end.
