It's the first ever FWD BMW, and also the first one with 3 cylinder engine. Wonder what the response would be like. The headlamps look a bit like Kia?

Come to Singapore will be overpriced. Must well buy a RWD one. What is a BMW w/o RWD? Even high end Lexus (I mean the real Lexus, not Toyota rebadged as Lexus) is using RWD and Toyota engineers agreed that there's something FWD cannot give, but RWD can.

1.5L 134 bhp. So it will be in Cat B if it ever comes to our sunny island. It's going to be a tough fight with MB B180 which is a Cat A car.

for this kinda low end non-sports city car that will probably never see a track,

FWD or RWD makes no difference.

Singapore is possibly the only market in the world where engine has to be tuned down where other markets demand for higher engine output Uniquely Singapore!

For a simple reason in that it's way way over-priced, for a belt-CVT Toyota with electric power steering!

Who would want to buy such a TOY-ota of a car?

This type of car won't sell one lah.

 

Note to Tan Chong: You hear that too, for the Nissans that you're bringing in?
