That's what I thought initially too, but then checked the signature, 335i indeed.

Forgot to reply to this, though there are "oh-so-many" threads on this topic out there. Both are great, depending on what you need and like. In my opinion, RWD comes with several stock suspension setup configurations that feel more what I think BMW should feel like on the road. They are also lighter, somewhat addictive to take corners in and were traditionally what BMW built their reputation on. No M cars until current generation M5 perhaps came with AWD and I think that says something too.

Again, both are great, matter of choice, just trying to explain my logic here.
