There is no disputing that AWD losses more in drivetrain losses than RWD, which loses a bit more than FWD.
That's been proven for decades, and through the law of physics.

This can easily be shown too simply by putting an extra 240 lbs into a 335i and do a rolling run (from 40-120) with a 335xi (this way, as long as the drivers are the same weight the weight of both cars would be the same). And rest assured, the 335i would still pull away. Not quite as quickly, but would still pull away a bit.
Man you are beating this thing to death.
By the way I have also owned a 2wd honda so I can compare it to a 335. Comparing a honda AWD to a BMW is ridiculous. Let return to the subject of of the OP. Thanks.
