The incoming 2027 BMW M350 xDrive pairs its inline-six with all-wheel drive, but the rear-wheel-drive drift mode drawing early attention from owners won't be active when the car reaches driveways. BMW plans to enable it after launch through a software update rather than at delivery. For collectors used to a car arriving complete, it's a reminder that some features now come on their own timeline.
