Why would you care? You have three RWD vehicles (unless your Carrera is a 4S, and even so I bet it doesn't torque steer).

Is this theory only apply to FWD?

I am thinking about changing wheels or change to new 6 series. BMW SA confirm that after April production of 6 series, 6 speed manual will be available in Canada.

Yeah torque steer is a result of driving wheels that are also used for steering. The more powerful / higher torque front drive cars (like the 263hp Mazda in the article) have the hardest time.

Most allwheel drive cars don't really suffer, however even a veyron has a little torque steer I've read at full throttle as it puts 20% of its power down through the front wheels (ie 200bhp).

For example my wifes GTi you will feel a tug on the steering wheel especially of you floor it when chaining lanes etc.
