Omega Owners Forum - BMW going GWD

Mar 2010 at 23:29 Saw it in a magazine - their next 1 series will be WWD. Absolutely no reason whatsoever to buy one now over virtually every car of that size. At least we will now know they are a knobhead and not a driving enthusiast after a smaller car.

Mar 2010 at 23:40 Autocar they said BMW will be making a 0 series too, photoshopped images of a fiesta basically and that was also WWD. It wouldn't suprise me if BMW did make a WWD though, I hope they don't. Autocar do come out with come tosh though And I know how you feel regarding the supermarket you get dragged along too

Yep, that's exactly what I meant. Grin

Perhaps that speaks volumes.

And what about the Volvo 3 series? Thumbs Up!

The 343 and wrongly named 360 with 4 cylinders and 3 doors.

Not bad cars - weren't they cart sprung?

Pretty uninspiring but tough as old boots as I demonstrated by not killing my Mum's one. Kevin
