Congrats, looking forward to seeing your new car.

IMO Audi's cars can be pretty good looking if they wear all the cosmetic stuff (eg. Led running lights, S-line and decent size alloy wheels).

That is with conventional 4wd where computer will not calculate where the power will be distributed. X drive like other similar systems from other manufactures, can sense where to most effective apply power to get the maximum amount of traction. So with Xdrive, ur front wheels will never get a chance to spin coz the system will automatically reconise the problem before it spins. So ultimately u r able to transfer most, if not all, of ur power from ur egnine more effectively instead of spinning and wasting ur power. That why WRX can launch more effectively compare to Nissan Silvia if both cars have same output. 4 wheels pushing vs 2 wheel spinning. That what i thought anyway.

But it will for sure change the traditional BMW steering feel though.
