Having bought the xDrive myself, I'm a firm believer in the AWD, especially if you're going to tune it. That being said, I went to Thermal today and tracked the M3 RWD, it was most impressive and almost never lost grip and very balanced through the corners. Makes me think in dry warm weather there's not really a need for AWD. I also do feel the slight difference in weight between the AWD and RWD. Driving feel and turning, I don't feel any differences. But the RWD is incredibly competent. I understand why they're making the CS and CSL versions RWD only, it makes sense if you're only tracking it. I honestly feel like the RWD may be actually a bit faster than the AWD on the tracks. The AWD is still king in real world street driving, and of course launch control.
