This is a performance car.
AWD is a performance feature. Especially in inclement weather.
It is a shame when you have a car that could potentially accelerate quickly off the line get stuck spinning while the 80hp Subaru/SUV lurches forward.

Are stopping and turning not performance attributes? Last time I checked, they are.
Again, I concede AWD will launch better from a dead stop in moderate or barely slippery road conditions, but sorry, nothing is launching hard from a dead stop on snow and ice-covered roads with 500+ HP. You're going to have to ease it off the line no matter what.
I think I've made all the points I wanted to make. Time to bow out and let everyone carry on without my redundant input. I'll leave the thread by saying again that I'm glad BMW gave us AWD and RWD options so everyone can be happy driving the car how they like to drive.
