Jul 2nd, 2015 |
|
Huh? Yep, that’s the condensed version of what a BMW spokesman conveyed when discussing why the brand is adding all-wheel drive to pretty much every car in its lineup, from the big 7-series all the way down to the second-smallest of U.S. Bimmers, the 2-series coupe and its 10Best-winning M235i derivative.

The bad news is, we won’t get it here in the U.S. But the heart of every European-market Type R will beat to […]
