80% Of BMW 1-Series Owners Think It's Front-Wheel Drive (Note to 1-Series Owners: It's Not)

The word last week that BMW's future would include front-wheel drive vehicles induced near apoplexy in the automotive journalist community. "Is nothing sacred?", they cried.

Well, there are drivers and there are operators of motor vehicles and the truth is that even enthusiast brands have far more of the latter than the former for customers.

Proof of that...Automotive News Europe reports that an internal BMW survey finds 8 out of 10 1-Series owners think they bought a front-wheel drive car.
