As for the post, bmw AWD system is more performance oriented than many other offerings. They allow more slippage and trust the driver.

I agree with you. I had an Audi A6 Quattro before the 530Xi and 335i cab. The Audi hardly allow any slip at all and is more assuring in slippery road conditions. The Xi allows some slip but catches on and corrects it pretty quickly, and the handling is sportier than the Audi. The one with the sportiest handling is the i.
