I'm not interested in AWD
My 6MT f80 with snow tires was fantastic in the snow so I could care less about AWD.

The biggest pitfalls of RWD high HP vehicles is needing drag tires to put the power down. Anyone who has raced a GTR will understand. |

I live in WI and it can snow drift bad. So I need AWD. So happy that MT is back they would really make mine day if they offer with AWD. |

But yes putting snow tires on is definitely a blast plus the confidence in stopping and steering is great. My 550i with snows out handled my wifes 535xi hands down. First time on snow tires so go fig. |

I live in Michigan, and RWD 6MT + snow tires has been my (and my wife's) only set up for years. We only got our S4 last year because it was a better car than the outgoing F30 and the G20 wasn't out yet. The S4 with snow tires IS better than any of my RWD cars with the same tires, but the BMW's always got us where we wanted to go without drama and are perfectly fine outside of the mountains.

I usually don't chime in matters of taste, BUT–Don't do it! The X6 is BMW's Honda Crosstour. Dumpy and lumpy and confused. Can't decide if it's a car or a crossover. Go X5M instead!

I dont get either what's the fuss about AWD on a M car, ALL M cars should be made with RWD only, current M5 already broke that tradition. I get it's a very advance system and let you do all kinds of crazy things with 600 hp. But dont you want a M car because it's the characteristics of a RWD car which we like about. Go get RS4/5/7 or an STI if thats what you're into. Stop with the 4WD M car bs please, theres always the 340i Xdrive

+1 Zero traction issues at all in snow and cold weather with the right tires and common sense. I also don't have traction issues in summer either.. Let's not forget the M3 posts faster Lap times than C63, Alpha and CTS-V I'm intentionally not including Tesla because it's not a car I would consider. The M lives on |

You don't have traction issue in summer? You must be driving like a nanny you don't drive it hard enough. You step on it and it will have traction issues. Specifically with MT. |
