Bimmer's marketing department has done wonders with that "ultimate driving machine" crap. As CK6Speed and Marshmallo pointed out, RWD is a trade-off. For most drivers, it's a BAD trade-off. When's the last time you saw a BMW, ANY BMW, driven anywhere close to the limit? Heck, 75% of the Bimmers on the road are 325i's. My FWD Acura CL can drive circles around them, and it's eight years old. BMW has an aggressive marketing department, but their engineering department fails to keep up...

Thank God Lexus did the right thing and made the ES veer to the luxury side and bring in a true RWD IS for the sport side.
Things change, when I was younger, I didn't know the difference between RWD/AWD/FWD, it wasn't even a consideration.
After driving a SC 400 for the first time and then having one, it convinced me in a day, RWD is the way to go.
People say you can't tell the difference during daily driving but that is B.S. The difference is night and day. If you can't tell if your being "pulled" or being "pushed", you must have no feeling in your body.
