Neither of those things changes the fact that it's true RWD.

Other than the 100-pound weight penalty, the car drives no different from a standard RWD model. I have yet to hear from anyone who's driven both that can tell the difference. It's real RWD, with 100% of the power being sent to the single axle in question.

A ~3% weight increase is a negligible price to pay for the flexibility of choosing between AWD and RWD on the fly with a simple double-tap on an M1/M2 button.
Question, in pure RWD mode TC is mandatory OFF correct like in the M5s?
