I don't know how much the AWD system would add on an M5, but the weight difference between a 750i and a 750i xDrive is only 121lb according to BMWUSA.com. While 121lb is more than 0lb, I would consider that a pittance of a penalty considering the performance benefits, not to mention the year round usage. I don't see many people complaining about AWD on the Porsche 918 and 911 models.
