Anyone have any thoughts or data on the performance drop off between the BMW 335i (Sedan) and the BMW 335xi (Sedan). I've been thoroughly amazed at the lack of dropoff between the RWD and AWD G35. Though a year old, that oft cited Motortrend (or was it R&T?) article showing that the AWD actually performed better than the RWD in dry (by .9 seconds) and wet (1. something seconds) caught my eye. Even though the 335xi's been in production only since the first of the month, I wonder if someone's come upon a comparison between the two showing if there is a substantial performance drop off between RWD and AWD sedans?

It's awd,it will perform better,most do off the start and in wet. Although the non awd if they have the same engines should be able to pull ahead without the weight of an awd system,unless the person driving the awd model has done some bolt on's of some sort.
