I want to feel the power and control it more so than that have a quarter mile slip for bragging rights.

As far as AWD I think if it was a more performance oriented setup I'd o for it. But RWD is much more pure for a BMW performance vehicle. If tire spin is crazy out of control i might revisit wider rear tires and an LSD.

For those of you with RWD that are tuned do you have serious annoying traction problems getting the car to hook up or just some minor fun with the tires breaking lose a little when accelerating hard?
I'm NOT tuned and traction is an issue. Mostly cornering. Im on 265 rears and traction control is always interupting and has almost caused more than 1 accident. LSD would solve most of it but its brutal.
