Perfect balance.

Rear-wheel drive and 50:50 weight distribution.

The 50:50 weight distribution and the rear-wheel drive are two of the key factors behind the trademark BMW handling balance. Driving the rear wheels makes for more dynamic handling and also benefits weight distribution. In addition, BMW uses lightweight components such as aluminium or carbon composites to help ensure weight is distributed as evenly as possible. For the driver, it all adds up to maximum enjoyment - bend after bend.
