BMW M5 to feature all-wheel-drive: report

Albert Biermann, BMW M’s head of research and development, spoke to UK publication Autocar recently and alluded to the fact that all-wheel-drive would become an option on future M cars.

It makes sense, too, given rival Audi's staunch use of all-wheel-drive on its RS models, and in snowy countries like Europe and some parts of the US, all-wheel-drive is certain to sell well.

But is it another dilution of the M brand? We'd like to hear your thoughts in the comments.
