I love rwd and the precise steering/handling of a BMW that no Audi I have ever driven could match. I like Audis. If BMWs did not exist and I couldn't afford a Porsche then I would buy one. An Avant S4, most likely.

Hopefully this will push BMW to settle the issue decisively by (1) offering a supersport/ti variant of the 335 (the tturbo M3 will take care of itself, no need to worry about niche divergence), (2) further crimping Audi market share in NA by bringing the 320d and 330d, (3) expand engine options for the E91 (as per #2), and (4) providing more interesting interior options (e.g., the BMW Perf seats would be a start).

EuroDelivery also continues to be the deal-breaker for me. I won't buy a car any other way. An E9x ZMP is still under 40k for me out the door.
