Food for thought. What does a Formula 1 and a top fuel car have in common?

I would guess everyone would prefer the M3 to drop real significant weight to get faster, nimbler and more fun instead of adding AWD. The M5 is in another segment and AWD or not in it make no difference to me.

However if the next M3 will be a hybrid it will most likely be heavier not lighter and it already have one foot in the mid size segment compared to the E46 and earlier generations and in that trend AWD on demand probably make sense to keep up with the competition in Nurnburgring bragging rights and also to keep stop light warriors happy

So unless the next M3 goes old school to a much lighter, high revving smaller car I have no issues with adding M5 type of AWD.
