I understand what you're saying, I really do. But how many people wish they could take their performance car out in mediocre ->snowy weather instead of keeping them locked away in a garage during the winter (probably not many I know).

But, if all of a sudden you had the ability to feel semi-confident in inclement conditions, you might be convinced to go throw down out there. It allows you to use your badass M5 for a longer period of time anyway, so where's the harm in that?

There is no harm in an AWD option. I encourage that. But for those who want a lighter more nimble rwd car that's no longer an option. (Yes I understand the M5 was never "light" but adding this weight to just drive it around in rwd anyway is pointless)

Provide two different models one with RWD one with AWD.
