getting pretty heavy though... for a small car.

 

[corrado917]

Nah, not by much I think - it's hard on a new car, with all safety regulation crap find a decent weight. Still this can be fun to see a comparo with the upcoming R.

SO MUCH WANT ERMAGHERDDD

X-Drive adds zero fun factor to everything...X-drive exists for the sole reason of BMW leasing thousands of 228i in the Northeast at rates cheaper than a loaded Accord...and that is pretty much it.

No way, the new 228i 2 series? Or are you talking about the 228i on the 3 series? I'm sure will be a weight penalty bet. layouts (RWD/AWD) but for sure the 0-60 times will be reduced, specially on the M235i Xi no one will paid for it, if there is no extra benefit (I'm sure a tweaked Xdrive). This could be nice to compare the CLA / STI / S3.

A lot of the fun of my 135 is being able to kick the back out if I want, no way would I want this car with anything but RWD. Same goes for if I had a 128 as well. x2 to simply being able to lease more cars.

If one wants sedan/coupe = M235 xdrive.
If one wants hatch = Golf R

Yes, and the joy to drive the car the whole year,without been worry about snow per se. Let's be real,not everyone who buys RWD are drifting.

I bet.same engines into too many series, but the biggest issue of buying one is how you get rid of the douche bag stereotype?!

Wash it off with lye soap? :iono:

Really the "lifted-trucks-that-never-see-mud" guys...THEY are more likely to be db's than any BMW driver ever thought about being.

We just had the worst winter in years here and my 135 was an absolute boss in it, I'd take it with snow tires over anything AWD and all-seasons (pretty much what the x-drive would be). $400 in snow tires > who knows how much that option will cost. The standard tires are flummoxed by a small coating or a slight bit of rain...I'd call them dangerous actually.

Not to mention optioning one can be a 20k swing...
