I wouldn't mind it as an option, but not as a standard feature.

Methinks AMG will respond similarly. Possibly as an option initially...

MB will have to watch the sales figures from the AWD M5. Maybe some day, after AMG does a sales analysis, to see if theirs a market for an AWD AMG.

I swapped a E550 rwd for a E550 4matic... trust me... awd SUCKS the fun out of a car.
The power loss and the added weight.
Yes the AMG will have more power but the car will SUCK compared to the rwd.

At the same time extremely hard on the drive train. I used to have a GMC Typhoon and Mitsubishi Evo, so I know. Drag radials are more than enough.
