With the new high torque engines (and yes, even 255 lb-ft at 1250 is considered high torque), AWD will have the advantage out the hole esp with good tires - its just a traction issue. Most of that advantage is in the 0-30 mph, prob even at 30-60mph, and I'm sure the RWD will pull ahead 60-100 mph.

I dont want to get into a AWD vs. RWD discussion, but with the shoehole difference provided by xDrive, the 335i xDrive with 8AT now launches faster than the S4 DCT (4.8 vs. 4.9s) which is always one of the things that S4 fans like to throw in your face.

I was more interested in the tranny differences and why the 0-60 times got revised so much. I mean these are faster than the e90 times they used to post.
