I find the xDrive on my M240i to be Very Different from the open diff RWD of my 135is. It was quite easy to get the 135is to try to step out the rear, and easy to get it to cut power since it didn't have an LSD. In the same corners with roughly the same level of aggresXXXXX assertiveness, the xDrive is clearly pulling more from the front wheels, and is both less inclined either to understeer (which the 135 was capable of) or to oversteer.

The M240i xDrive is far more stable in cornering. I suppose that would be less fun if you really want to hoon around, but I'm more about fast, smooth, and stable than sliding.
