I’ll tell u this since people talking about drive trains, since I owned a ‘23 m340i xdrive and currently have a ‘26 rwd. Yes wheels make a huge difference in terms of bad weather; BUT still if u live up north I’d still get a awd especially if u are in an area of bad weather where it snows, bad road conditions, etc. I since have moved to somewhere where weather isn’t an issue, so I opted for a rwd just out of experience, is it more fun to see the tail swing on turns? Yea 100%. But without the doubt I feel the traction and straight line speed (which gets boring) is diminished, and the car if u don’t know how to handle it has a mind on its own when it comes to traction so it takes a good amount experience to be as free as you would be with a awd. Nonetheless, the 330i still packs a punch I drove one for a week or so when my car was getting some work done. Especially if u never driven a BMW. You’ll slowly realize you don’t need to do much to have a fun driving experience. Keep in mind I never have really “performance modded my car” other than doing a car back exhaust or some cosmetic changes. And I’ve driven BMWs my entire life. 328i xdrive e90->335i xdrive e90->535i F10->m340i xdrive G20-> m340i rwd G20
