I hope if it will come with X-drive it will have the option to disengage the center diff. and it doesn't become too heavy. Have driven some X-drive bimmers and not a fan at all....
Coming from Audi S3/S4/S5/RS5 which have the best sport AWD all around IMO, I just got an M3 Comp because I like the RWD experience.
AWD is definitely better for putting down a faster more consistent 0-60 time and win a drag race. But permanent AWD will always feel under steer and heavy around corners. You won't enjoy it unless you live in a place where you can constantly do brutal acceleration to triple digits... I like how my M3 can melt rubber and slide like it is driving over butter even at 40 mph if I push it. Different experience...
If the M3 becomes permanent AWD I'll probably go back to Audi as it won't have the same experience for me anymore....
