Not that it lacks power but the 2WD simply cannot put the power down in 90% of situations. I literally have to hold back and not do certain things/maneuvers (such as quick overtakes) I would have done in my M340i because I know the RWD will not cope.
I am the only one who feels this? I am not talking about wet roads, this is the case even on dry roads.
There has been quite a bit of previous discussion in this forum about the M40i's limits due to 2WD.

I decided to go with the s30i because (quite subjectively and controversially) I am happy with the s30i's performance and didn't feel like the $10K price bump for the M40i was worth it to me. If that bump included xDrive, I may have reconsidered.
