You may well recoil at the thought of a front-wheel-drive BMW, but that was the compromise (thỏa hiệp, dàn xếp) that was arrived at, since this configuration (cấu hình, hình dạng) is cheaper and makes better use of space. India will see two engines being brought in, the 2.0-litre diesel and petrol units in the 220d and 220i respectively; tragically, the full-fat M235i xDrive — with 301 wholesome bhp, all-wheel drive and an extremely high grin factor — won’t make it here.
