I tried searching, but are there more concerns with high HP AWD 335's vs the RWD counterpart? I know JP has upgraded turbos and no problems, but I am thinking out a few years when there are single-turbo, high HP applications. Will the XI's be able to handle these levels of power or would I be better suited to get a 335i and a separate winter vehicle?

What kind of horsepower are you talking about and are you talking about using your car as a daily driver, dragster, or frequent or dedicated track car?

I've done all the standard stuff (DP, intake, tune) on my car and use it 60% daily driver, 40% track (hard). So over the last three years I have started to notice a little loseness in the drive train. Not having had any previous experience with manual transminssions who is to say that isn't normal.

I would also think laying down power to four wheels would be less stressful than sending it to just the rear.

Just my two cents.
