My e90 M3 with Blizzaks got around and up my driveway (on a slope) better than his Audi did… AND I shut the traction off, because I did better sliding back and forth up the hill, then I did with the traction ON and not letting me get any grip. AWD is a nice feature, to me, it's good for families, and Sunday drives to pick apples and whatnot… but an M, or an AMG, or certain other cars are just so much more aggressive and classic, with RWD…
That is all… my rant is over…  |
If you think AWD in an M is all about snow & rain you may want to try to rethink it. Think of it in lines on cars like Ferrari, Porsche, McLaren & Lamborghini cars without enough ground clearance to go out is a dusting of snow.
Then ask yourself why do some of the fastest car lines in these makes come standard with AWD.
Not unusual to shut off traction control in deep snow or steep hills so the tires will slip rather than stop but with AWD you have 4 tires pulling not just two.
More than likely its in the manual someplace but I can't say, you know how us guys are about reading the manual.
