I did, and although I was totally opposed to the idea of an AWD M, it totally won me over. Even when it was not raining, it did.

The F90 felt lighter and nimbler with increasing speed, It was possible to accelerate hard before apex and it went exactly where I wanted it, at a T-junction, just put your foot down and it slingshots you out of it. I was afraid the steering feel would be compromised, by all this torque dispatched to the front axle, but it didn't. Also it felt neutral at all times. I remember I was totally flabbergasted with this experience, three years back. Since that day, I've changed religion.
