The Audi we know today (post WW2) had not built a single RWD production car until a one off RWD R8 Version. Their chassis are built for FWD with optional AWD. R8 again being the difference were FWD is not offered.

BMW only built RWD cars, some with option for AWD until recently.

Does it matter in terms of balance and turn-in? It has in every Audi and BMW I’ve driven. More so in the traverse engine mounted Haldex cars than the Torsen diff cars but it’s still a noticeable difference to an Xdrive car. Audis plow.
