Perhaps they will make a pocket rocket variant and move the front engine/transaxle to the rear. Something along the lines of the old Toyota MR2. They will have their work cut out to compete with the likes of VW & Honda in the FWD market.
Beyond boosting BMW's EPA average I can't see FWD cars of this class being a good thing for them. Strange that they would want to directly compete with their own Mini brand.
