\nNo, this isn’t a joke. Really. Automotive News<\/em> reports that BMW<\/a> CEO Norbert Reithofer shared this statistic during a call with analysts last week. It is unclear where this information came from within BMW, but it still comes as a staggering surprise that 80 (eighty!<\/em>) percent of 1 Series<\/a> owners believe that they are living with front-wheel drive.<\/p>\n

As we reported earlier, BMW is planning to bring front-wheel-drive vehicles to market<\/a> in the near future, and the automaker is worried that it might confuse customers by adding these new products to the rear-drive-only lineup.<\/p>\n

Guess not.<\/p>\n

We firmly believe that all current 1 Series owners who think their car is front-wheel drive should hand over their keys immediately… to us. <\/p>\n
