I have to disagree, there's plenty of AWD performance cars out there; in this case BMW are already shaving what? 100kg off the base car, and M are potentially giving you the option of tail happy fun-times, but with the ability to switch back to AWD?
Sounds like a winner, already really like the look of the new 5 series, looking forward to seeing what the M5 brings. |
+1. IMO the "AWD = pig of a car" argument holds true for low HP cars decades ago, but not today when cars are pushing 450-500 HP.
