First we need to establish what an M5 is built for. 1.Autobahn cruise missle. 2. Ronin-esque chases.

So, the AWD is not the best for the autobahn, but is fine for the dream sequence chases.

Maybe to market the awd better, the M5 could be one of 2 models. Like the M5 Unrestricted, for the highway power and the M5 Pursuit, for rwd cinema-perfect skids.

And AWD is fun as titties on a track, for all you naysayers. Also, on modern awd systems, the front wheels can be completely disengaged from the drivetrain.

AWD M5 is not the death of a brand. Keep you mind open, carburetor generation.
