BMW M5 Has AWD In Its Future, But No Hybrid

The CEO of BMW’s M Division has conceded that the company is fast approaching the practical limit of how much power can be sent to the rear wheels only, and hinted that the future high-output M cars like the M5 and M6 may have to adopt an all-wheel drive layout.

In an interview with British outlet Autocar, M Division CEO Frank van Meel said models like the M5 may eventually feature all-wheel drive underpinnings - at least as an option, especially in wintery markets such as Canada and Switzerland.
