I had an E46 RWD MT and now have an E91 AWD. The E46 DSC was incredibly annoying in rain and snow. The slightest slipperiness powering up a hill and the whole car would shudder while its brain would cut engine power and the brakes try to decide which wheel to clamp down. By contrast, the AWD is incredibly fun in dry, wet or snow. The control is amazing.
My daily commute includes a winding 1/8-mile sweeping uphill curve left changing to 1/8-mile uphill curve right, through some woodsy parkland. I really enjoy feeling each of the individual wheels bite as needed as I power up the hill, dry or wet. The car just tracks like it's on a rail powering up a curvy hill. Of course, 6MT makes it even more fun.
There are sadly few AWD MT sport sedans built anymore. Thanks BMW.
