I await much flame for this comment and maybe BMW approaches these runs differently.
Yep - and I agree 100%. I don't think anyone is going to discount that RWD has a more sporting feel to it, and overall a more sporty drive. It is important to note, however, that it is no longer the end-all, be-all. FWD and AWD have made large leaps in terms of performance and feel over the last couple of decades. So much so, in fact, that they now approach the performance and feel of RWD.

An M2 is a great car, no doubt about it. Same for a Porsche Cayman. But again, so is the Civic Type R (albeit hideously ugly), the Cooper JCW, the GTi, RS3, and many other cars.

They talk about 'badge snobs'. They should also talk about 'drive line' snobs.
