Seems like the guys that didn't get xDrive love bashing it for some reason.
It does NOT help traction in cornering (unless you are accelerating) or in braking. It ONLY helps traction when the gas pedal is involved. Press the brake pedal... how does xDrive help? Turn the steering wheel... how does xDrive help?

No one is bashing xDrive... I'm a fan myself... all people are doing is pointing out the compromises involved in BOTH an xDrive car AND a RWD car. That and how tires help both cars because xDrive can't overcome the limitations of all season tires in certain circumstances (turning and stopping). The person buying needs to decide which option is more important to them.
