Why is no one even considering how GOOD this is for enthusiasts.

A small FWD car will inflate the fuel economy for their whole fleet (meaning we can have more powerful engines in sportier cars), and will allow for fewer sacrifices to be made on other cars (because now people who just want a BMW for the luxury or the badge can pick up this one).
BMW already has the highest mpg average of all the luxury German makers afaik. Maybe the fwd cars are to offset even more SUVs BMW has planned though.
