Maybe, maybe not. I'm curious enough to spend a little $ on some software to find out.
XDrive may feel "artificial" not because power is going to the front wheels, but perhaps instead because of the suspension geometry required to minimize torque steer, or suspension geometry required to accommodate the extra X-Drive hardware, or because of the extra weight in the nose, or because the hydraulic steering rack used in the X-Drive variant outright sucks (even though in the early days of the F10 the hydraulic rack was the desirable one), or....who knows...
X-Delete won't fix any of those kinds of issues, and the steering may still feel weird. Like I said, I'd be willing to give it a try, but XDelete doesn't work with my TC.
I am interested, however, in comments like yours that the RWD F10 doesn't feel like crap. Or at least the LCI doesn't.
