As such, there's not much opportunity around here to slide our cars around corners like the Dukes of Hazard. Soon, the only place you'll find rwd bmws equipped with MT will be in museums.

If you need AWD to avoid crashing into pedestrians, cyclists, and other motorists then you need to go back to driving school and learn how to drive properly. AWD isn't going to defy the laws of physics.

The point is you can't fully enjoy the pure RWD dynamics if you can't slide sideways so if you've got a weather reason to go AWD, no harm done. The new xDrive dynamics feel RWD for day to day driving so not much downside.
