The only way to drive the new M's? Yes the F80/82 had bad traction but the G80/G82 has amazing traction. I think the X-Drive is an amazing option to have for those in cold weather climates and those interested in drag racing etc but otherwise I think there are plenty of people that are very glad there is a RWD option Available for the purists. High powered RWD cars should be celebrated, especially ones the drink gas and have a 6MT! They won't be around forever and personally I think BMW knocked it out of the park with the RWD even in the auto version. I think it was Chris Harris who said he assumed the RWD was an X-drive because traction is so good. |

Drove an RWD G80 on track last thur and it was pretty damn good. Only issue was the brakes are super grabby in sport+ mode but that's easily fixed. I ordered an AWD and I know it will be even better on track (plus as a daily in the NE) but the RWD is still very capable.

It's fast, fun, feels more RWD than no until you floor it on a wet road then you know it's not RWD.
I ran a bad 1/4 at close to sea level (0-60 in 3.3s) but the 1/4 mile was still at 11.25s so not bad. 10's are doable in this beast. My DA was about 800ft see below.

When I switched to Tesla and awd, one of the perks is tire wear. I was getting 12-14k out of a set with my comp, so far 17k and looking good for another couple thousand. In my experience grip was good with rwd until about 9k miles then it was a downhill ride with traction
