While BMW is giving more credence to it's AWD and FWD rivals by playing into their hands and trying to beat them at their game , BMW is also losing the exact thing that made them successful and differentiated them in the market place to begin with.

The xdrive and quattro have some major differences.
Not only BMW still mounts their engines on-behind the front axle (Except for new 1 series and X1), but also all their xdrive systems are very rear biased. Audi's numbness comes from heavy front (transverse engine), and lack of balance. BMW's xdrive cars don't have that.
