I've always run in-line on my B4's (although I was in the minority), so started out with them on the X6.

For me the trailing axles are too dead and inconsistent. The car feels really slow and heavy turning in, you get lots of snatchy steering mid-corner and then push on the way out.

The in-line's feel to give much more consistent balance right the way through the corner, and direction change is much better. The flipside of this is they make the car much more sensitive to small steering inputs and it reacts very quickly around neutral - which most people can't seem to get on with.

The thing you have to remember is you have to change other parts of the car's setup to make the most of the different axle configurations, the few people I've seen try the in-line's don't change anything else on their car - then think they're rubbish and never run them again.

But like lots of things, you need to try them for yourself!
