Your average drivers will never know the difference between AWD or RWD and the AWD adds additional safety for adverse weather. Additionally, 99% of people driving cars will never be able to exploit the full potential of a M225 let alone a M235.
This is pure bs... The difference btw RWD and AWD is night and day. Drive one back to back. AWD feels more sluggish and heavier in steering and just feels like a pig between shifts. It isn't transparent. RWD shifts smoother, feels more nimble, gets better gas mileage, and is more fun.

I used to drive my e60 m5 with winters on in terrible weather and never got stuck or lost control once. AWD is pointless on these cars just buy some tires.
