BMW needs to consider things that will make this car enticing for many types of drivers, not just "hard core" enthusiast. There are a lot of people who purchase these cars that support the genre of M cars who are not "hard core" enthusiast. Without those people, the M genre could not support itself with only "Hard Core Enthusiast". Just my opinion.
These people buy the X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6...

Leave the M2 to be the only 'pure' M car in the whole of M's line up

M3, M4, X3, X4 has the xDrive with the S58

With xDrive they need to add a front diff, a transfer case, drive shafts, fluids...all these extra weights = no thanks

Further down the track it will be $$$ to maintain and fix them when the factory warranty runs out
