I agree with you both, that having a true RWD option, with the ability to have the nannies on or not, is what they will need to include if they want people to get on board with the idea on an M3/4.

But I don't have much hope for that - given the shift we are seeing, in terms of the "sharing" between standard cars and M cars, I wouldn't be surprised at all if the M3/4 follow the M5's script. I mean, BMW has already developed the requisite software and whatnot. If they can't even be bothered to have a new, exciting engine for the M3/4 or M5, why they hell would they bother with a different AWD --> RWD setup?

Just my $.02...
