That's my take.
Seems to me it's a market growth question:

Rather than compete for market share with AMG (which they already do), can they grow total sales through net new offerings (awd) by creating a new customer segment without cannibalizing or losing existing sales?

If M xDrive is well reviewed then I think their equation changes and they pop it into the next gen M4 with the M2 as their track rat car.

If people hate it in the M5, then they stick with rwd and settle for market share growth.

Feels even money to me right now, especially given the M5 rollout.
