Possible to make our e92 m3 AWD?

I see there's a lot supercharged e92 m3, and a few turbocharged e92 m3. Is it possible to make our e92 m3 all wheel drive? To improve our acceleration time.

I'm not an engineering/tech person, so forgive me if its a ridiculous thought.

With enough money, anything is possible. That having been said, no, not really.

What makes the E9x M3 what it is, is because it's RWD.

Buy another car.

That's true, money works on anything. But nobody has thought about doing?

Don't get me wrong, I love my m3 being RWD. It's just an idea.

Lol I never said it's a wonderful idea, but it may be a good idea for some people.

As mentioned, with money, anything is possible. HOWEVER, with the amount of money you'll have to spend, go buy yourself a GTR/Porsche 911 TT/some other AWD monster. lol

I have 4 AWD vehicles including a 991 Turbos S and a 997 Turbo S and the E92 is my favorite car by far to drive.

Just sayin.

I can't agree more, I love driving my m3. I have drove my buddy's 991 turbo s several times, it feels just different.

Nothing is impossible with enough money. It would have to be all-custom. The S65/S85 nor M-DCT were ever put in any AWD vehicles as far as I know.

It would also be a tremendous waste of money and effort, but yea you could probably make it happen.

Just step in a Turbo-S with AWD in the rain , and it scares the shit out of you !
Feels like the thing rides on rails !
And that's one of the reasons why it does 0-100 in only "2.8 sec" !!!
Amen..

Haven't driven a 911 for a long time but I have no doubt they are great cars. Still you prefer the M3, care to elaborate as you clearly have proper experience of both Longboarder? ( must still be good readons for you to fund two of them!?)

Well it's not that the 991 and 997 are bad. They are incredible cars. It's just that the M3 is so good. Didn't realize just how good it was until I drove a 458 Italia and kept comparing it to my M3.

Haha it's kind of funny hearing you were comparing a 458 with an m3. Glad to know our m3 are at similar level with 458 at some point.

Well, the 458 has the newer version of our Getrag DCT...so there's some similarity.
