This thread is dead, typical pissing match developed and nothing productive being added. Close up shop.

Thank God you've enlightened me, and no I've got summer tires for summer and winters left over from my 135i that will be put on for winter. Hopefully that is ok with you, I'm sure you've got a better setup for that as well. I don't know what post you keep saying I "parroted" anything about RWD with snows being better than AWD with all seasons. Where is this post??? I think you are mixing me in with another poster. Ok to rip into my posts, but I'd like them to actually be posts I've made.

And finally once again I'm not convincing anyone anything. I'm stating facts of why I do what I do with my cars. People can chose to use that info or get all bent out of shape like yourself because you have a different opinion and do different things. Good for you for having 3 different cars, I've had Mustangs, VW's, BMW's, Honda's, various pick up trucks, so what? You posted a big picture of a mustang with a time slip on a BMW forum, that's why I called you mustang guy. It's not meant to be derogatory, it's simply matches your post.

I gotta say I've been on these forums for 4 years and this is the only time someone's ever gotten all worked up over my posts. I've sold and bought items from other members, I've given my opinions and listened and debated with others. Are you having a bad week or something? This isn't a Fox News vs MSNBC forum, or is it?

Nope,not a claiming to be a better driver,just have more sense to know that if you want to mod to make more power, then upgrade your tires before blaming your lack of forward propulsion on the the drive system.

Not mad at all, just tired of your condescending remarks e.g "if I wanted to do burnouts I would have bought a camaro or mustang ". I assure you most camaro and mustang drivers know better than to drive on stock tires when making a lot more power than what the car came with.
This has been a royal waste of time... So to OP good luck.Hope you are happy with whatever you get ......... But RWD drive is still king !

In a PERFECT world AWD will get to 60 in about 2/10ths of a second faster than RWD all while being way less fun to drive unless youre in snow. Wow...2/10ths.

WRONG.......

Stock car "yes"

Modified car "not 2 tenths"

Rwd 235i with 450hp

Awd 235i with 450hp

Daily driver, i'll take awd, ty.

[Merc for hire]

This guy is in a summer climate and wants an AWD car.

I think something is wrong with the brain here.

[Turbo_435i]

http://www.autobytel.com/sports-cars...s-cars-123235/

Yup, read up

Nissan GTR awd
Porsche awd
Lambo awd
Ferrari awd
Evo awd

Hell ,
Even ford jumping on bangwagon AWD!!!!!


I see guys at the dragstrip all the time in rwd cars losing BAD to awd cars with alot less hp.

[Turbo_435i]

M235i Daily driver xDrive
JB4,DP,exhaust

No explanation needed.
12.2 --- 1/4 mile

No M235i rwd's doing this on daily driver street tires

I believe OP was talking about stock. You are the only one who drags their car which I find peculiar. To each his own.

[Turbo_435i]

I am the orignal OP, and I dont drag my car at track.

Im showing a drag track video as a reference for what an xDrive is capable of, vs rwd.

[Turbo_435i]

Stock rwd vs stock awd might be similar in off the line performance, but once both cars are upped in power to 400hp, the awd will shine.

What a stupid logic! If you "mod" your car eg a tune. The awd will still be heavier.

You'll then say you'd lose traction with rwd but if you're going to mod the car you'll get lsd

At the end of the day awd will always be faster on initial launch (20-30m) but after that the lighter rwd will catch up and ultimately be faster

Wrong numbnuts.....


I said rwd (not lsd rwd)

Rwd 400hp stock tires
Awd 400hp stock tires

The awd will be ahead off line AND at finish line of a 1/4 mile run. Yea the rwd will gain ground slighlty, after sluggish launch or spinning tires, but the 180lb difference isnt going to make any difference once awd is multiple car lengths ahead.

Your making it seem like the car is 1000 lbs heavier.

Wonder why Mercedes CLA45 AMG is AWD ?

Because it's based on a front wheel drive platform.

Please go buy a CLA45 instead, it's 0-60 time is far superior.

Then go troll MB forums instead.

Fail

So why not leave the AMG fwd ?

Genius.

Please stay out of my thread kid, youve already posted a few times here with nothing to contribute to actual topic at hand, hence "troll".

Multiple car lengths? Physics and maths aren't your strong suits is it?

Nothing to add topic at hand ?

Then dont relpy.

And this coming from someone who asks what tire pressure to put in his tires.

Stupid topic to begin with. Guy starts a thread trolling people with idiotic comments and lack of knowledge

take into acct the following before you answer :

1. im looking for a car thats qwk as hell from 0-60.
2. i live in miami, so awd for snow etc, isnt needed, but im thinking awd will launch alot harder and have better 0-60 time.
3. I know the weight of xdrive car is slightly more , 200 lbs, but how much will that affect 0-60, 30-50, 50-90 etc, meaning car should be alot faster 0-60, but will it suffer after car is moving, ie...,lil slower than rwd ?
4. I plan on leasing , so overall longevity of parts,awd system etc, not an issue as I will turn car back in 45k miles or so.
5. extra cost isnt an issue,$2500+ for awd, as long as performance is better , 0-60.
6. does xdrive model come with michelin pilot SS, or run flats ? im not a fan of run flats.
7.anything else i may be missing ?


so, whats your input on awd vs rwd........ please chime in if you've driven both, and or / have awd.

thanks guys

here's my original post/thread starter.

Care to elaborate on whats trollish about it ?

Thought so MATE.

Yeah .... "Stupid topic to begin with"......discussing awd vs rwd, haaaaa

Guess i should start a topic about swapping out rear view mirror caps to carbon fiber.?

You started a topic knowing what you want out of it. Your mind was set on the xdrive. Numerous posters weighed in on the rwd side of this "awd vs rwd" and you go on mindlessly about how good the awd is, whilst ignoring or arguing with people who's voicing their opinion.

Awd is a split second faster off the line, that's where the advantage ends, rwd is lighter, better on fuel, better balanced car, better handling and ultimately what the car was designed for.

So go buy the awd already, so you can head down to your nearest red light, whilst the rest of us will enjoy driving the car, for what it's designed to do.
