Hmm. This is on my short list for the next car since I am consolidating the M4 and x6 into one vehicle next time. I hope it does not disappoint.

Man if this is true it seems the F13 M6 really will be my last M. The M division has become such a disappointment.

The M5 was never really an "M" car. Its too big. A real M car is something you can take straight to the race track and feel right about it. The M5 made all the right numbers but felt too big on the track and too wild on the street. This new one should be the ultimate daily driver! All weather traction, MASSIVE fast 0-60, all the usual luxury bits. Guys pushing hard for RWD only should really be driving M2/3/4 instead. Does anyone really want to drift in an M5? Its just not a hooligan car. Its a VERY fast luxury sport sedan.

I guess my days exploring this part of the forums is over. AWD shit. Sucks because it really looked good.
Also, didn't the head of M say this wasn't happening? What a cocksucker.

LOL! Hahahahaha. So it's basically a propped up M550i xDrive now. Amazing.
Newsflash: Audi and MB already excel at making fat, powerful, AWD, slushbox sedans. So now WHAT THE HELL IS THE POINT OF A M5?!?!?! BMW HAD THE ONE DISTINCT OFFERING IN THIS SEGMENT AND NOW YOU’RE THE SAME AS THE COMPETITION, WHO ALREADY DOES THIS FORMULA BETTER THAN YOU.

The E34, E39, and E60 vehemently disagree.

That doesn't make sense. Traction control on drift mode?

You could say the Alpina is already at its limits with those 608hp, obviously the M5 isn't. |

Why wouldn't you have a DCT for the next M5? Not trying to be funny - I honestly don't understand why you'd have the ZF in this car.
While the ZF might feel pretty "snappy" in a 320i, there should be a distinct difference in an M car from that perspective - perhaps they can achieve that with the ZF, but seems like a strange decision to me. 600 BHP + AWD = Beast though...the car will be really really fast.

LOL at all the haters. In all speculation, you may have the option of RWD w/ DCT or XDrive w/ZF8. Regardless...there will be a lot of boxes to check off, including a competition package...or leave some unchecked. M XDrive in saloons is going to be a reality...it will happen...get used to it.
