I just drove the M4 at COTA, and felt the same thing. OTOH, my M550i hooks up immediately, rocketing away from red lights, and out of corners in the Hill Country. And the M5 I drove at COTA after I drove the M4 was head and shoulders above in speed, cornering ability and ease of driving. All because there was no wheelspin, just massive acceleration. I'll keep my Xdrive, thank you. YMMV

Just having the option of having the best of both worlds is the main idea of doing this. |
I agree, I'm not out doing burnouts from light to light in my e39 m5, I will break the tires loose on a roll while getting on the highway.
I am just trying to get a sense of what kind of power these cars have. This is my first awd car and yes, traction is very important to me when there is rain and snow and well as when I need to rocket off to beat the car next to me on a merge.
So far I have MHD and XHP along with an BMS intake and MPE. So far the car feels and sounds great. I am excited for the additional x delete maps with the snow and sport settings they have for the other models.
