I think you need the M Driver package if you want to have some traction adjustability with the AWD in RWD mode

Yes..confusing!

Because to get to 4WD Sport you have to disable the DSC stability control. Which seems daft to me. This is very much rear-drive. You will get proper slip angles and sweaty palms, but a better chance of saving yourself because the fronts – you’ll discover mid-slide – are also doing some work.

4WD suits it. If it were me, I’d spec it. And it did feel notably different. I reckon this is probably down to the tyres and a bit of mechanical bedding in, but the 1000-miles-from-new 4WD car was snappier at the limit than Rowan’s 13,000-mile rear-drive car wearing half-worn Michelin Pilot Sport 4Ss. The 2WD might have had a little less bite, but it flowed better, the diff was calmer, more progressive – which actually made it harder to get some slip angle into. So there you go, the new M3 xDrive is more oversteer-ready than the rear-drive version. You heard it here first.
