The M35i will be AWD but I thought that AWD presumably acts like FWD until the car is run in a way that AWD would then kick in. In other words in most driving conditions won’t the M35i be in FWD mode and under rare conditions it would utilize all 4 wheels? I’m trying to get my head around the fact that this car will have 300 hp but in most conditions power will come from the front wheels vs what I’m use to on my 335i with same hp with power from the rear wheels. I’m not sure that the weight difference is on the M35i 50/50 like my 335i then maybe this makes little difference in driving dynamics?
