BMW may use FWD on it's lesser cars in the future, but not the majority of their cars. A fact of life is that most people that know anything about cars want RWD or AWD for their large sedans or sports cars.

As for the Supra. It will have nothing in common with the 86 chassis. Read up on the Toyota/BMW joint collaboration on chassis and most likely the power plant.


Supra is a new chassis that Toyota will use for another but smaller sports car.


As for horsepower split, asking one set of wheels to drive and turn with 250+bhp I think is too much without messing with the suspension and introduction of electronic aids. I rather run it to the back and leave the front wheels to steer.
