Yeah! Watched ALL day! Loeb had agreat season! Sorry to see Tommy go. What a great run of it he had. Question: Think BMW will ever developed an all wheel drive system and create a rally car? Wouldn't that be the coolest? Just think what kind of a following the MINI could have then!!

Rally Racing- The only REAL racing left on earth!

mmmm, my take on BMW developing an awd system and getting into Rallying is doubtful. Back in the 1980's they did have a WRC presence (I think into the 90's as well?). At the moment, I think their not too concerned with it :smile:

BMW does have a variety of AWD systems, one in the 3 series (Xi series), X3, X5 (am I missing others?). I think MINItraizing it into a MINI, tho, would certainly be a good challenge. Would require a fair amount of cash to do it I suspect...
