Why dont they just put a better traction and stability control system in? |
BMW already made all the cars I ever want to buy from them. Not a big deal for me. Its just sad to see one of the last mostly rwd brands succumb to the stupid mass market. |
M3 with XDrive :rofl: |
This has gotta be the stupidest idea ever, not bringing rwd bmw's into Canada is like saying "Fuck u Canada ur roads aren't good enf for our rwd" which is bs, I don't even want to start imagining fwd bmw's if this shit is true, someone is going to get fired really quickly Posted via RS Mobile |
so... how is this guy CEO of BMWCA? he needs to get fired |

if there is demand for rwd bimmers...there will be a supply...... |
^ cool commercial |
I'm quickly losing faith in BMW. First no more high-revving NA motors, now this "X-Drive" nonsense. What's next, DCT transmissions only? Automakers need to seriously give their heads a shake if they want us to buy new vehicles. This is pitiful. |
if they make all x drive i dont see the issue , however fwd would be a mistake |
We are complaining since Vancouver area gets 1-5 days of snow a year. compare with other provinces that have 3-6 months a year of compact snow. This isnt america, and our Sales volume for all of Canada is probably half a year from just California alone. So we are Small Fish in the scale of things. |
What a friggin stupid idea. I sure hope all this coming from the CEO was all said in passing. I can't see how BMW headquarters back in Germany would agree with such a stupid strategy. He said //M cars will have x-drive in the future? Yeah right buddy, keep dreaming. I personally think Frank Jung's wife crashed one too many RWD bimmers. ;) I understand that the rest of the country gets big snow every year, but the inhabitants of those cities are always prepared for snowy winters. On a rwd BMW, DTC combined with some snow tires should almost never get you stuck. It's just the goofs in Vancouver that think their SUV or AWD vehicles will monster through snow w/ balding all-seasons. |

If you guys dont like my posts why do you read them? Cars arent my life, but BMW is one of my favourite automakers and knowing that there making a awful decision like that is terrible. X drive wont offer that raw handling the RWD gives. BMW should offer more selection for X-drive but not replace all RWD for x-drives. If you dont like my posts dont read them, when you see my username and picture just scroll down. Dont shit on my posts and dont post ridicoulous shit like "awwwwwwwww no bmw no RWD shit man I can't live life anymore wawawahwahwahwa mommyyyy" and aznboi that picture was one of the first pictures i took and it was with a old school digital camera. Im not a expert and i dont have a SLR wtf do you expect? |
^ it wasn't the picture it was you bitching afterwards there was constructive feedbacks for you but you threw it right back to each and everyone. Have a little respect. Posted via RS Mobile |
^ that is true, i didnt handle the feedbacks as well as i should have. |

It don't think it would be a problem if they included a way for the driver to adjust the power bias...say 20/80, 40/60, etc...AND up the power output by 20% or more. But I doubt that is gonna happen...lol |

as much as it does suck, sales are probably not going to drop by a noticeable amount, as the above poster said most people buy BMW for the brand and not for the experience |

All manufacturers make these decisions at some point. Mercedes decided to go away from I4s cause people liked the bigger V6s, although I'm sure there were some who wanted to keep the fuel efficient I4s. BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Mazda, Ford, ... all kept the smaller models of cars away from Canada cause they didn't think they'd sell in a country where trucks and larger sedans lead sales. |
I'm still amazed at the number of people out there who associate AWD with safe and RWD as dangerous. |
This sucks! I realize Vancouver is not the center of the universe and that it snows everywhere else -- but I don't like this decision. Bye bye 50/50 weight distribution, steering feel and fuel consumption. Hello understeer, more weight and more things to break. :swear: |
