Either way, BMW is really late to the market with this car. The core audience has been asking for a small RWD sedan since the twilight of the E90 was approaching, but the company let Audi and Mercedes beat them to the punch by a significant margin yet again.

Mitigating risk is good, but BMW has been reeeeaally risk-averse in its consumer segment lately. Maybe they're gunshy after having spent so much R&D on the i brand. Dunno.
