However, BMW noticed sales of the latest and recently redesigned Toyota Camry have been stellar despite both Toyota and Mazda having several crossovers of their own. The Mazda6 has also been selling quite well and yet both sedans are FWD. Industry data indicated a loss in popularity for RWD performance sedans, likely because of higher fuel costs. Therefore, BMW's best data specialists came to the conclusion that for the 3 Series to survive, it required a serious re-invention, and FWD was the clear choice. And like the outgoing generation, there will be an xDrive 3 Series variant too, as this new FWD platform, codenamed FOOLDU, was engineered from the get-go for AWD as well.
