I keep hearing that the AWD systems of BMW's are not performance oriented the way Evos and STi's are. Does anyone know what the Nurburgring times are for the 335i vs the 335xi?
I live in SoCal where it hardly rains and never snows but I love the capabilities of good AWD cars on the track. Being able to get on the gas early in each turn is so much more fun to me.
A car like the Evo has 3 LSD's and BMW (non M) has 0? What is up with that? I am having a very hard time choosing between the 135i/335i and the Evo X. Looks do not matter to me because I think both are pretty ugly. I just want a car that will do well at the track and still get me through my 2 mile daily commute.
