Honda's very first crack as a mass produced passenger car was the s500 which was a very successfull chain driven rwd car. The whole reason Honda started producing FWD cars was because Japan was leading the world with economical, cheap to make, cheap to own small cars, and Honda wanted to keep up with everyone else.

The first type R that was built was a mid engine rwd super car. Then Honda went back to what they do best (making economical fwd small cars) and took an ordinary every day car and turned it into a race car.

I can't say why BMW will only make rwd cars, maybe it has something to do with pride, but at the same time, just because it's rwd doesnt mean its fast
