Bottom line: if steering precision and road feel are important to you, get a 335 rwd, and mod appropriately (BMW Perf suspension kit, M3 bits, extreme perf non-rfts, LSD).

If AWD is really vital, go test drive the S4 & xi, they are both great cars IMO, with different emphases as the OP describes.
+1

All this talk about 'feel' coming from the OP who has an xdrive BMW is hilarious

My Dad just got a loaded S4, with sport diff and drive select. The car is a fantastic all arounder. There is an obvious difference in feel compared to my car (coilovers, dp's etc etc) but it is welcome to me.
