Someday we will have AWD hybrid electric M3s with 600hp. But not next generation.
That makes sense. Personally I would rather have a Honda NSX type M3 than a faster more luxurious F80 ( with or without AWD ) since this is by far my least favorite generation. It's a better car than most but I just can't love it and looking at likely future options an NSX type of drive train excites me more. With an F80 like motor I'll pass the next generation.
