Since you have a CLA45, do you think the new 2016 CLA45 will be able to drift with the more power and new LSD like Chris is doing with that A45? or is this just a hatchback thing?

Yes, BMW used some BBS wheels, which is a far cry from saying AMG copied BMW. That BBS design was a very common aftermarket/tuner design in the 80s. Many manufacturers utilized that design, including Lotus for its Esprit, etc.

When I was in the market back in late 2013/early 2014, in its first year of production, the CLA 45 was indeed advertised (relying here on memory) as a 100% front wheel drivetrain (normal driving circumstances) that could send up to 50% to the rear wheels as needed. Kudos to AMG for rectifying this under-steering prone setup. I can attest that a 60% rear biased drivetrain is sufficient enough to enable a relatively high torque vehicle to fishtail exiting a corner prior to the front wheels compensating.

Now, with the significant upgrades/changes to the CLA45 in MY2016 I wonder how it will compare to the 235i and M2. I have to admit that I'm leaning towards AWD because of the weather here in Buffalo. |
