You are 100% right...but that would be assuming the M3 RWD Comp struggles for traction... yet I haven't heard anyone say that yet in this entire thread... except one gentleman who was pushing it hard on a partially wet track lol.
So in what situation does the G80 necessitate the AWD? If you're trying to launch sure... but again the RWD model still does 0-60 in 3.8 seconds so it also launches well and I've heard 0 complaints about traction. There was one guy who for some reason claimed he was worried about getting smoked by Golfs and diesel cars in his RWD M3 and the rest just said...hell might as well just get it because well its better bar non without giving a true reason.
The F80 (especially pre LCI) was an entirely different beast that had massive struggles for traction even with upgraded rear tires... this car doesn't suffer that fate at all. In poor weather and wet conditions, I would absolutely suggest getting the AWD... but I also would not suggest driving a car hard in poor weather but that's just me.
