First off--- I hate Mani.
2nd: Pretty much as expected with impromptu races. The X drive is racing for dummies Man the S58 is just so incredible. I was driving my V10 R8 around with its sonorous brilliance and then the next day I went back to the G80 and honestly I am damn fucking proud to have this car in my garage (actually had 2 LOL).

I think the only thing I've avoided thus far is being out when I know we are getting a bunch of snow due to grown clearance, but other than that, I've had nothing but love for my RWD comp…just can't help but wonder if I should consider doing what you did and order a AWD and trade the RWD, since I didn't get the RWD for the manual; just because I wanted this car as soon as it came out. Welcome your thoughts and anyone else's.

Sick car for sure but I think I lost my love for high revving engines after owning a couple of turbocharged cars. [IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/jSyRvssd/20220115-170103.jpg[/IMG]

I also have a R8 V10 (in a manual) and I am always impressed when I get back into my S58 X3M. Really an incredible drivetrain!

I have been driving around in RWD a lot recently in my AWD G8x. I put the M traction control on 4 or 5 and power slide all over the place. I love how easy the back end swings out.
When I want to put the power down I just go into 4WD sport. It is truly the best of both worlds.

People complain about the cabin sound, but it's not that bad in my opinion. I've never driven the F80, so I can't compare DCT to the new ZF in my G80.

I wonder what color the xDrive M3 was in. And needless to say, the AWD cars are much quicker variants & this is what we all knew was coming.

1. RWD is just fine in non inclement weather states 2. If you are into digs and quick rips without wanting a single worry- then the X is the way 3. rolling races that are not premediated would not benefit the rwd as its just too close with the 100kg gain in weight and ever so slight loss in axle drap. Its just not material. 4. The X is 100% the car to get if you are modding with tunes, fuel, and hardware. I personally had zero issues with the RWD where I live and would have kept it happily if I didnt get the allocation at msrp with AR car. But in NH you would probably be better with the X as the tires dont warm up and your weather is different. The RWD is so great though and BMW did an incredible job with it out of the box. I do feel they upped the game with the X though and real wheel bias while maintaining that great steering feel and chassis compression and rebound. Quote:

I might sell it soon so it needs to stay relatively stock which is fine for me.
