My guess is a generous 5-10%.

FWD in a 1 series might not be a big deal. Folks are loving the Mini, and that thing is a go kart (so I always hear). So a FWD can be made to be fun. Just most aren't.

I can see BMW going FWD on the 1 series but 3 or 5 or 6 series, no way. That sounds like a great way to shoot yourself in the foot.

But hell, the pepper pot hasn't killed Porsche, so who knows.
