I am especially fond of the 1 series BMW
>>29095848I like the F20 series from 2015 to 2019. Looked good, RWD, good "normal" engines (120i, 118d and 120d).The new ones remind me of Kia's too much.
>worse than a golf r in every wayHmm
>>29095848>>29095851the RWD ones looked very cool (even though the interior didn't age well, and by the end of the generation it looked straight up ancient) but the new ones are literally just heavier Mini Coopers that do not handle as well as a Mini.completely pointless now.
>>29095851>>29097009It kinda lost the only thing that made it interesting or unique when they went to FWDAlso not sold in the US so I couldn't give a fuck
>>29095851>The new ones remind me of Kia's too much.They look more like Fiesta's, especially if they're blue>>29097009yeah removing it's biggest selling point over the competition was retarded. It was the only affordable hatchback with RWD and they easily could've kept using the same platform as the 2-series.
>>29097016it was just cost-cutting. b48 is ridiculously reliable, produced en-masse over like a dozen models, and they already had b48+xdrive ready to go. otoh the b58 is less efficient, bigger displacement, and therefore worse at emissions, meaning they'd need to do a new revision of it (expensive) to pass emissions tests.
also look at how hard the new one gets mogged lookswise. its fucking pathetic.
>>29097031Wtf does the engine have to do with the layout? All they needed to do was give the 2-series a hatch and voila, new RWD 1-series.
The 1-series is NARB (Not A Real BMW).
>>29097082maybe i'm completely misremembering but isnt that also a FWD based platform?
>>29097085The F74 is FWD, the G42 is RWD. Two different cars with different platforms that use the same name for some retarded reason.
>>29096960RWD???
>>29097159OPs image is not RWD thank you
