It looks to be RWD given it has slicks out back and skinnies up front. It definitely hauls, but 10s aren't totally out of the question for these cars. There are a handful of N55s and B58s in the 10s and low 11s and have been for a few years. The reason we don't hear more about it is the BMW crowd isn't much into organized drag racing.

A strong tune, downpipe, ethanol/meth, fuel pump mods, and most importantly, tires, and the B58s, N55s, and N54s are upper 10 to 11 second cars. Hell, slicks alone on a bonestock RWD M235/240 would shed easily half a second in 1/4 mile ET just because you can launch so much harder. It's why xdrive 8AT models are so impressive in the 1/4 mile.
