the Audi is 40/60 FR AWD 100% of the time. not BMW.

there is an app called Protool it reads the torque to the front wheels at all times. other than accelerating my car is 0% torque to front wheels.

my M340i will be full mustang mode driving in a straight line in the rain. very scary the back will just suddenly come loose.

as far as i know the transfer case clutch pack generates a lot of heat every time it is engaged. even if your car has more AWD it will not be 40/60 all the time or your TC will explode in 1 year. it's not an Audi (it has a differential so full time !00% 40/60 AWD, we have a clutch pack)
