The 228i xDrive Gran Coupe is in all respects identical to the FWD 228i except for the addition of xDrive AWD and the differences this brings about. Compared to the FWD car, this improves the 0-60 sprint from 6.3 to 6 seconds flat thanks to improved traction off the line. However, there is a 141-pound weight penalty, which takes 1 mpg off each off the xDrive's three EPA figures. The xDrive system does have a positive effect on weight distribution, moving a little of the weight rearward for more balanced AWD handling.
