Ya but the e90 was developed back in 2005. The awd adds about 120lbs to the current g20 m340i. About the weight difference between a full tank of gas and 1/4 tank of gas. I am willing to bet the m5 uses much lighter components such as the front drive shaft. I believe the manual transmission didn’t save any weight over the zf-8 in the f30 car.
I was hoping for an awd manual but, the zf-8 is really good.
