In the ongoing HP war, traction is key. A 4WD platform sounds like an awfully smart move to me.

I always wished my E63 had AWD and PDK type of transmission. Well in 2014, my wish will come true

I have great respect for current Bi Turbo m157 models and MCT transmission but I always wondered, if m156 E63 have MCT...would the performance specs would be same as m157 E63 models?

yeah i saw that and is awesome how much weight that ends up saving! plus it will reduce the AWD understeer problems , but some understeer still will exist as their is still 33% power going to the front wheels.... but i will gladly take a little understeer anyday versus spinning my tires on every take off from a stoplight with throttle at 10% or more
