Not sure you can even order the f30 anymore. I put an order in on one back in December and we still have not received the build number. This means the December incentives will be expired before it comes time to do paperwork.
Without an LSD, the torque numbers in the current 340 already make the power somewhat useless in the rain, cold, snow, or anything else that isn't perfectly clear and hot pavement. With run flat tires, you are not going to be using much of that power in most conditions. Adding nearly 20% more power with less weight would only make this more apparent. AWD is essentially becoming required to be able to actually maximize the use of power. If there is little weight impact and there is an option to send 100% power to the rear wheels, there really is not much to complain about here.
Manual is going the way of non-assisted steering racks. Everyone complained about the boosted racks back in the day and now nobody wants to bother with that. Once again, added power and lower weight make it harder for humans to keep up with the capability. The gap continues to grow.
