"This allows BMW to mount one unit over the rear for an EV, then add an ICE on the front for hybrid or another electric unit on the front for EV all-wheel drive."
Does this imply that any ICE propulsion is to the front wheels? If all EV componentry is integrated, including the gearbox, that unit would power the rear wheels in this case, no? So if there is an ICE up front, I can't imagine there would be a drive shaft to also power the rear wheels. Is there even a tunnel to accommodate a drive shaft for the ICE-only model?
