AWD is an option for those who are prepared to trade some traditions for a lot of extra speed. For some like myself I'm looking forward to trying it out, not because I no longer appreciate low weight and MT transmission etc. but because I'm open and willing to try different things. If it doesn't work out, well it's just a trade away to the "purer" version or something else.

For what legitimate reason would BMW not offer the higher powered auto rwd model?
