Next generation 1 Series is said to be built upon the UKL (FWD) platform.

The upcoming 2 Series generation (which shares the same platform as the current RWD 1 Series) will be RWD.

The rumor you mention is about the 2 Series that's two generations from now. Since it may continue sharing a platform with the 1 Series, it stands to reason that it may also be FWD at some point. Time will tell how this all evolves.
Shame that the hatchback will become FWD, it was a pretty USP especially in M135i guise
