A difference of 168 kg or 370 pounds.
Now consider (again) that both cars run the same track and tire sizes.
For the former: Do I hear the sound of understeer?  |

Not quite. His numbers are accurate, but he’s comparing the weight of the rwd 540i against the weight of the (awd) m550. The 540i xdrive slots in the middle, 65kg or 143 lbs higher than the rwd.

The 540i xdrive touring has the best distribution, but that’s also because it weighs in at 1860 kg.
