Or the i3, which makes all FWD compact cars look like dinosaurs including those from MINI dare I say. In my mind the future of the compact performance sedan must be in the i3 DNA or it will simply wither and fade away.

I truly hope that this technology continues to evolve and merges into mainstream BMWs so the 2 Series is can be RWD like the i3.
This. I want to see an i3 with the horrible heavy batteries ditched and the little 3-pot out of the i8 powering the rear wheels. With those skinny tyres. I can hope.
