F/R balance?

Is there any information regarding the front/rear weight balance of the new 240i?

Yes, significant. As Canada is getting only xDrives, 230i xDrive should be about 3,699 Lbs. Heavy but hopefully it feels lighter.

yep, I may have ordered the M240i RWD if was available now. I live in US Southeast Region and no reason why I need AWD. Waste of $2k USD;

strange why BMW wouldn't give us a choice of both with either model

yes I know Saab, sold my 2018 230i almost 4 months ago and don't want to wait until mid-next year. If I cancel my order and wait that long, I may buy a 2023 Nissan Z instead.

My build and signed contract w/deposit was Sept 9 and my S. Carolina dealer still has no G42 allocations, bit frustrating
