That is already the case - all BMWs (except for the i3 and i8) are built on one of two architectures: CLAR for RWD/AWD vehicles and FAAR (formerly UKL) for FWD/AWD vehicles. These are highly modular vehicle matrixes with the ability to accommodate all types of vehicles. Other manufactures have similar systems in place.
