[QUOTE=SCOTT26;19921923]From the actual Press Release from BMW AG regarding the X1.
Quote:
So as others have stated, the Marketing language is just that... Marketing. 50/50 weight distribution was the hallmark of BMW and an engineering axiom of the company at one time. Some of us still what naturally aspirated I6's and natural 50/50 chassis balance. Not even BMW can engineer a balanced chassis using a front-drive architecture; the numbers prove that. BMW has morphed into every other manufacturer and has lost is special-ness. Sorry.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
