My point though is that BMW is edging more and more in that direction, heavier AWD cars with more weight on the front axle. This moves them closer to "Audi" handling dynamics and away from traditional BMW ones.
Agreed in terms of direction. The same can be said about Porsche, heavier AWD cars where the weight is moving in direction of a mid engine layout. Times are changing for everyone, luddities suffering will only worsen
