It is. The context of that language was in a description of the already-revealed drivetrain for the new X3/X4 M:

The new M3 that is coming out seems like a let down. It'll be AWD like the big brother M5 but that = more weight. I really don't like the direction BMW is taking their M cars. Why are they switching to the AUTOMATIC 8 speed also??? They are saying it will be a faster car but at what expense? I don't want to drive a boat for a sports car like the M5.

Do what they want, we'd like the sound from the exhaust to be significantly improved. Without the active sound gimmicks.

What's with all the hate on AWD?
Give me a break already. Many of the super/hyper cars are AWD. The current gen M3 (competition) can't lay down all the power to the rear wheels without causing some spin. I track my car and it annoys me that after a curve I can't plant the pedal all the way down without worrying if spin (aka loss of power, loss of acceleration, loss of speed, loss of TRACTION ) will occur. Or how about the spin on a dead start...So great, 444 HP, but can't put it all down because the rear wheels can't handle it. AWD will mean a slightly heavier car (if you are that concerned, go on a diet and change your seats to race car seats ), and it will mean all the power gets planted to the ground. Do people not remember the 0-60 times of the 335xi vs 335i? Which was quicker? That's right, the XI. Most tracks that I go on are too short to enjoy max speed, and many have lots of curves (just the way I like them ) which means, 0-60 and 0-100 times are more important than top speed (We the People of the United States of America do not have an unrestricted highway ). Now, if you want to complain about something: Lack of ventilated seats. When tracking my car the windows MUST be rolled down, and it's hot outside. I'd like my bootay to not be hot. Vent my BOOTAY

I am all in on this! It will increase sales in the New England area and that is great news for me.

And ventilated seats for a car seeing the track? Sheesh, you're the anti-thesis of the performance driving demographic. Sounds like you'd be better served by the latest Gran Turismo.

As for being comfortable, if you would prefer to drive a car that feels like this, then knock yourself out. I don't like sweating in my seat while on the race track. And unless you ripped out all seats, but the driver seat, from your M3, and replaced drivers seat with a race seat, and then ripped out every single other non-essential (radio, AC, monitor, carpets, headlights, side windows, etc) then don't talk to me about weight reduction.

Can't wait! Performance of the Competition will be out of this world and a huge step up from the F82. Bring it on, I am all for it. Of course rear wheel drive is more "pure", but still, I have all my trust into M to give the G8x the same spirit that the F90 has. And the Competition F90 is one hell of a performer.
I don't think that AWD and DCT/8HP will add any weight. I think we are talking about the same weight. M will get it done.
