![]() A RWD requires a different technique too, which I would say is counter intuitive to a persons normal driving technique.Īs for the OP and thinking xDrive will be better? Under no circumstances is more weight on a car better for handling, so no an xDrive will be worse. In summary, the reality is opposite to your assessment, but you are correct in linking driver skill and ability to extract the maximum. Read any magazine that tests skid pan performance and you will soon see that a FWD or a AWD in general generate lower g readings than a sporty BMW, which the 1/2/3/4 series is. ![]() As the maximum lateral acceleration of the car is only as good as the weakest axle value, a 50:50 weight distribution car is likely to have a higher maximum g cornering value. In a front engined layout at least, the equal weight distribution F&R allows both axles to generate similar lateral acceleration values. Big difference.īMW have been banging on about 50:50 weight distribution and 'drivers cars' for decades, not without good reason.
