If you can have a 4WD 3 series and keep all the handling dynamics and involvement, then I'll be looking hard at one of those in 40d form when I change in 18 months.

Does anyone know if BMW are planning X drive for the 440d? I'm certainly gunning for a 440d as my next car, but an X drive version could just be heaven, especially with all that grunt. I think the x drive would pay off a lot of the time, like squirting fast out of roundabouts.
That first sentence is what i was worried about i have driven S5 , S4, and another 4 wheel drive Audi and they were dull as dish water flat and planted but just no action imho
I have found out from another forum the Xdrive will sit the 10mm higher as does not drop with Adjustable on XDrive
