It looks like they have switched roles. Yes, the AMG cheats with AWD and yes it takes the easy and obvious route to getting the numbers but it has come along way in the handling department and that is a fact.
I love BMW, but I fear that they have become obsessed with chasing numbers and pleasing customers to the point of losing their edge and credibility.
Before any zealots come attacking, please note that I am on my 6th M car.
