In fact given how strong the reaction was to turbo charging M vehicles I can imagine pitchforks and torches outside Bimmerpost HQ if M became xdrive only!

Ps where is an angry mob emoticon? :angrymob:

I think BMW M division surely will make it optional, but once sales of AWD greatly exceed manual, I am afraid BMW will make it DSG only like Audi has done with the RS5. I think M division discussed also that if power increases anymore they have to look at AWD. A 245 or 255 tire can only take so much power and torque before power becomes useless.
