Just as it is a myth that you'll be safer with awd, it is a myth you can't have fun
It all depends on the driver IMHO
If you can do this with a 320d xdrive, than surely you can have fun with a smaller and just about twice as powerful car??
That said, keep it safe folks. I would prefer AWD because it means one can take full advantage of the power on the legal side of the speedlimits... and indeed have fun in the turns when grip levels are (consistently) low.
