I regret getting xDrive in my car...

I had a RWD vehicle previously with LSD, and it would be a little tough to get going on an incline. In corners it would oversteer at times but was very predictable and easily corrected.

My e92 xDrive understeers unpredictably and seems to react slower than my MB 4MATIC. The suspension tuning has a very floaty feeling. The only real situation it has helped me is getting started on an incline, but that is a pretty rare occurrance in my neck of woods.

My next Bimmer will most likely be RWD.

Basically IMO, "Ultimate Driving Machine" does not apply to non-M xDrive machines. Dunno about X6m and X5m because they have xDrive with torque vectoring.
