Other options is to get an xDrive 550i and do a software tune. Because of the awd it actually does a much faster 1/4 than the same year M5.
Or wait till the M5 comes out as awd which is the next plan anyhow for BMW since all their M cars are making too much power to remain rwd.
I guess if you really really wanted, then see about swapping the drivetrain from the 550i into the M3... but the next M3 is gonna be awd anyway by the time you are done and be cheaper in the long run as well.
A wild idea would be to just run in hub electric motors to each front wheel and put a battery under the back seat that charges off the driveshaft (it'll also regen when you down shift)... you'd have to sort out the software and control for it to function seamlessly. But with two separate motors up front the software can function like a virtual LSD for the front as well

Thanks for the analysis, I appreciate it. The reason I asked is because I see a lot of amg cars are becoming AWD instead of RWD.
I knew i was gonna get flamed on, lol
