Is there no dulling down of that feel and involvement that comes with RWD BMWs? I ask because I've found 4WD Audis a bit dead and lacking in feel or involvement for my taste, but maybe BMW and Audi do 4WD very differently.
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.
