If it is a 'proper' M model I'd be interested to see what M do with it being a transverse FWD-based platform as I think this will be a first if I'm not mistaken.

Having driven an early FWD (a 2 series people carrier) model they do feel quite different to traditional RWD and it put me off ever going for a FWD model. Since then the 128ti has been getting glowing reviews.

Whilst I understand the tradition, I don't quite understand the level of complaints about diversification of M, it's not as if the core M models (M2, 3, 5 or 8) are changing platform. We've probably got another 8-10 years of ICE and I doubt BMW will make the next M5 FWD for example…
