AWD can't come soon enough.
Adding AWD to overcome a chassis that has poor mechanical grip is a band-aid.. however... you can get an M5 with AWD now if you like AWD that much.
When you put 450+ hp to two wheels you're going to have an issue with mechanical grip there's no f'ing way around it you can't keep adding horsepower without adding a couple extra drive wheels.

I am sure you will agree.

Otherwise you need a McLaren P1.
There are quite a few cars that can put down 600 bhp plus RWD very well indeed, but then again they're not saloons or coupes, and they are in a bracket that BMW won't touch.

I expect AWD will be inevitable at some point sadly. Yet I expect we'll still not see a tourer (wagon) version :/
As long as you can modulate it and turn it off like on the M5 it should be fine
