I think it is mainly for FWD cars. But having said that, I read somewhere that the new Audi R8 also has it. Could be wrong.

Anyway, it works a treat on my R. Such secure road holding and handling. Have been missing so much of this in the last 2+ years.

Because you often lose control getting from Kensington to Putney?

How much road holding do you need while doing 2mph in London traffic jams though?

The x drive is a version of Haldex with the electronic differential, just like a Golf R.

My thoughts exactly, I'm sure F30AM has been RIGHT on the limit testing the new car 15 miles a day between lights

Phhheewww that F30 SDrive was so unstable man, literally didn't know which way the rear end was going to go.

Hahahahaha.

Idiot. Never go to Putney or through it. It's south of the river.
