Will probably switch back to BMW. (No, not a troll!)

RHD?
They don’t have it in AWD in the UK...? Odd.

Nope - Rear drive only in the UK

Holy necromancy, Batman! No, Robin, there's nothing holy about raising the dead.

Only a little over 2 years...

Having driven an M240i over here I do really wonder if it is too powerful ! It really isn't a very big car and 335bhp makes it a bit of a liability in the wet or greasy conditions with all that turbo torque.

Better yet - become less of a stomp & steer driver and fine-tune your throttle modulation skill.

No.

Sorry, but 335 HP and 270-ish ft*lbs of torque in a 3500# RWD car only needs a semblance of throttle modulation skill and driver discipline. Fixing the driver was clearly indicated here.

But if you don't want to believe that, don't be surprised when your AWD car goes off the road during wet (or worse) weather that it goes further off/deeper/hits something solid harder.

Agree with Norm. People are too cracked on AWD in the USA. It's not the end all for performance vehicles. Usually RWD is a better choice unless you are going off road.

Cool. I don’t have AWD.
