  1. People have been saying for years on this forum that an xDrive with an adaptive suspension is the only way to get rwd handling in an all wheel drive 3 series. Basically avoiding the "soft" factory default tune of the xDrive cars... Does anyone have any real-world evidence from a track test, magazine review, etc. that actually supports this claim? I'm about to pull the trigger on my families first ever xDrive BMW ringtones, after a LONG history of rwd passive Msports and passive sport suspension 3 series. The adaptive suspension on my M3 is negligible between settings, as every setting is "harsh" on MI roads. We're looking at a 340i xDrive Msport with the track handling package and 19"s. And for the record, I keep my cars 100% stock, hence my question. I understand the ride height is slightly higher, and the car weighs slightly more, but does the optional adaptive suspension truly become as firm as a rwd sport suspension car when set to Sport, Sport +, etc.??? Does it corner as well??? Any evidence from an online source (with numbers) to back this up? Thanks everyone, and curious to hear any real-world impressions! (it probably goes without saying that none of my local dealers has an adaptive suspension xDrive to test drive back to back with a passive or adaptive rwd car) Let Me Love You Lyrics Black Beatles Lyrics Don’t Wanna Know Lyrics
