well, it's "easier" to drive, certainly... there have been MANY times where I'm driving on cold wet roads, through intersections, and my habit of jack-rabbit starts actually make the wheels spin/slip a bit. In a RWD car this would be a lot worse. With xDrive, I notice it, but the car powers ahead without going sideways.

In a lot of cases, I have more usable power off the line than an M3 or M2.
Yeah I believe it starts off as rwd then the transfer case engages when slippage is detected. Looking forward to when the M3 has x drive.
