Germans do fun?
Do you want to fool around with an extra 70-80kg (155 - 176 lbs) of weight? We have never been the king of traffic lights. Driving fun is what counts. All wheel drive is just a disturbance in that area. We've taken a huge effort to reduce the weight of the M3/M4 compared to the previous generation, so it would not be smart to add all that weight back for just one feature. -From the M engineers asked why there aren't Xdrive M3s/M4s. This kind of gives me faith in future BMWs even if the successor to our car has an engine from a Mini and electronic steering. |
