I am having a delightful time reading posts by new converts to AWD on the BMW forums.

When I posted about my 2003 RS6 to my prior M3 friends they gave me nothing but shit about AWD and the RS6 not being a real sports car, even though it bested the M5 at the time. I knew they were wrong. We all know they were wrong here.

Now the M5 crowd has discovered the beauty of All Wheel Drive! AWD 5 series, AWD 7 series, etc. Thankfully, the M5 is not badged with that crappy term "XDrive," because "Quattro" is much more cool, sounding and written.

I hope to get 14 years out of this car also.
