Performance based rear biased xDrive with active rear diff makes complete sense to me.

Seems to work just fine for the Z06 and Viper ACR both on track and in a straight line . You just need good traction control systems and wide rubber , with efficient aero for the track . It's no accident that big horsepower rwd cars with aero are the fastest on track by far. People are delusional thinking awd will improve BMW's performance vs the competition . BMW needs to move to a modern double wishbone suspension , and actually make a significantly lighter car . The main reason the M3/4/5/6 have bad traction is the stupidly short gearing to limit the feeling of turbo lag . The reason they get beaten on track is because they are behind on chassis and suspension tech . It's sad day when a ATS-V has a better chassis and suspension than any BMW M car
