From anything but a stand still I'm not worried about the AWD cars outrunning my M5. Most acceleration contest seem to be from a rolling start.
That said, I'd absolutely go for an AWD M5! AWD can drift no problem. And the real world performance advantages of AWD are just too good to ignore. Porsche and Audi have figured out how to offer up AWD in exciting driver's cars, BMW can figure it out as well. Anyone seen the 0-60 on an AWD 550? Personally I'd prefer BMW offer both RWD and AWD versions of the M5. And yes I'd pay extra for the AWD....
