No they don't.
Even though it is a somewhat high tech AWD system, it just doesn't work as well as Audi's and Subaru's.
For AWD I'd go with Audi, and have.

FWD BMW?
It'll be interesting, but not for me, unless the models are designed to retain performance and not designed just for better mileage.

There's been talk from BMW that the 1 series will switch over to FWD.
If it does the BMW may lose me as a customer. I can easily go back to Audi.
