BOOM. Previous M CEO Dr. Friedrich Nitschke has already explained BMW's possible use of AWD in M cars:

Which M models will potentially see an AWD option? "The M5 and M6, maybe in the next generation they could get AWD, but not with the M3 or M4. Never," says Nitschke.

Nitschke: Many of the AWD wheel drive systems are not optimal for us. ... It would in future the possibility M5 / M6 also optional with AWD. But this would be extremely rear-biased, more as a sport AWD than a traction AWD, perhaps even in combination with rear wheel steering. The RWD option would also remain for the M5/M6.

Just as crono06 said, newbie CEO van Meel is pretty much following Dr. Nitschke's plan.
