Help me settle a bet.

Has BMW ever made a front wheel drive car? If so what model and when was it made?

this is true. But before mini cooper i'm pretty sure that they havn't. Besides does the mini cooper really count? It's not their design... You can still win by saying BMW never designed a FWD car.

Yes, the only FWD trash BMW ever touched was the mini cooper. Even the 318ti was RWD.

Isetta is RWD I believe. I don't think BMW will ever come out with FWD. The reason car man. use FWD is because it's cheap and really easy to make, and in no way are BMW's cheap!
