Yes, as far as I know. Not sure how much difference that would make driving on public roads, but expect it would be helpful on a track.

I was commenting on the fact that the extra weight of AWD may have an unintended benefit of lowering the center of mass/gravity.

Others have mentioned this, but I would like to see BMW offer the same degree of sport suspension with AWD that they do with RWD- same ride height, etc. I do appreciate that BMW is now offering an optional suspension with AWD. If DHP was not available on xDrive, then I would have purchased RWD with DHP.
