Not quite sure where you are getting at here...

To recap: 50-50 weight distribution is not ideal, contrary to what BMW wants us to believe. Rear weight bias is preferable for sport driving dynamics. 53% front weight bias for the G8X is certainly not going in the right direction. And yes, the AWD G8X will be even worse with 54-55% of its weight on the front axle. The RS4's 56% is even worse. And in case you wonder, yes those % points are all significant in terms of driving dynamics. That's the whole point of my post.

And I am not an Audi hater, quite the contrary, we've had an S or RS Audi in our driveway for the last decade. My wife has a deposit down for a 2021 RS6. We are actually moving away from BMW as my next purchase will not be an ///M.
