When BMW began offering awd they saw it as a utility their customers in inclement weather climates wanted, not an enhancement to sportiness. They still mostly see it that way, though they are beginning to see a greater need to compete with Quattro from a sportiness perspective.

There is the ability to buy the adaptive suspension on F3x; perhaps that's what you mean? |

What I was referring to was weight penalty. I believe the AWD weight penalty for the E9x was greater. |

Quattro with the Torsen, might be a better system but the ultra quattro is a glorified haldex. So a standard A4 5 6 7 and Q5 will get the Ultra.
In normal driving condition is a FWD, with the rear axle decoupled. Is supposed to be so fast that you won’t know the difference but I’ll take an xdrive every day where 40 is already on the front. |

Somewhat puzzled why this thread hasn't attracted at least 2K posts on a polarizing topic of all times.
Unless the trip includes a detour to climb Pikes Peak in blizzard like conditions, any modern AWD drivetrain with proper snow tires will be sufficient for daily driving. Tires. Tires. And again tires. |
