BMW has a few mules out there with the M5 system and they're testing for performance, versatility, etc while at the same time analysts are looking at production costs, M5 AWD acceptance, these forums, potential new buyers, etc.
At a minimum you can already hear all the explosion of reviews: here's the performance with AWD on, on auto, RWD only, etc etc. The press release and marketing alone are going to attract a much larger audience and they may siphon off some 911 4C drivers.
From a revenue perspective I can't see how an AWD M3/4 wouldn't be a huge success ... just depends on the costs.
