Why does the BMW 1 Series have a rear-wheel drive?

I am considering purchasing a BMW 1 Series, but I am wondering why it has a rear-wheel drive instead of a front-wheel drive like other cars in the same category. Can someone explain the benefits and drawbacks of this type of drivetrain?

The main reason for a rear-wheel drive in the BMW 1 Series is for its superior handling and performance. By having power go to the rear wheels, it allows for better weight distribution and a more balanced driving experience.

B

As an owner of a BMW 1 Series myself, I can attest to the sporty feel and precision of the rear-wheel drive. It may take some getting used to if you have only driven front-wheel drive cars, but once you get the hang of it, you won't want to go back.

Rear-wheel drive also allows for a more compact engine design, as there is no need for additional space for a front-wheel drive system. This can result in a lighter and more efficient vehicle.
