Exactlly
That's what I'm doing with the Eclipse. That, and the low Cd is why I'm using an Eclipse as the base for my conversion. I can start out with a real easy 4wd, then upgrade to more power and an electronic differential in the front without much effort. If I can STILL stay out of trouble, AWD with 200kW and electronic differentials is available.
Actually, the 4X4 was done very nicely some years ago with a Subaru. I think the guys who did the conversion put those Siemans AC motors front & back. Apparently the rally racing guys control the power balance between front & rear on the fly. Somehow the transfer case allows this to be adjusted by a knob on the fly.
I was mostly addressing your situation with a rwd BMW.
