Given that BMW is already well on the way to finialising their LCI, i doubt they now have the time or are willing to put 4wd on the M5.

It's a pity since this could very likely make the 4wd 430kw E63 quicker on the track than the M5.

I wonder how M-division will address this or will they have to wait until the F10 is completely replaced?

Unfortunately for us in Oz...the E63 AMG is not being made in right hand drive (its LHD only). Fortunately for M5 owners here that means the M5 will still be hightly competetive with the 410kw RWD E63 that will be the only version available here.

But if the next gen M5 lacks 4wd and with the next gen E63 confirmed that 4-matic verison will be available in RHD markets too....M-division may see a loss of sales down here.

Any ideas how M-Division will try and keep the F10 M5 competetive with the 4-matic E63 in the meantime?
