M240i Xdrive on order.

Do they torque steer? Or have any horrible pull from the front feeling?

I know it’s a rear biased system but you’re still going to have some times where it pulls rather than pushes. And whilst it does appear to show its rwd side sometimes, I’m nervous it will act more like a FWD at other times with torque steer etc.

for example when using launch control on the car, does it feel neutral or torque steer/pull at the front? Basically does it ever feel more FWD than RWD?

This is a deal breaker for me.

No torque steer at all.

None, the only times I notice any awd action is by the fact that it doesn’t break loose on launch, and when you break loose on a turn the awd pulls you back under control.

It’s all very subtle and done without any drama. The AWD is wonderful. And if you turn off DSC and go full manual the back end will slide. Great compromise. I am very happy I got AWD. Gets the most out of the car.

No torque steer ... in my brief time with it. Very pleasing indeed. It just delivers the performance easily.
