Xdrive vs Rwd driving dynamics

Hey folks,

Coming from the E9x platform, I have some questions about the XDrive vs RWD cars, particularly when it comes to track and AutoX.

1. In the E9x platform, it is well known and understood that the xDrive cars understeer more, given the same suspension geometry and tires. Is this rhe same with the G8x?

2. In the E9x, the steering rack ratio was 18:1, where the RWD steering rack had 16:1 ratio. Small difference on paper, but it is quite noticeable in AutoX. Is the steering rack ratio rhe same between RWD and Xdrive in the G8x?

Thanks
