Also, define usable. Yeah, if you're the **** boy who bought this car to got WOT at the stop light, awd might be a better option for you. But let's also be realistic, most people who the new m2/3/4 daily drive these things and just want a fancy performance car that they never utilize. Adding awd to the equation will do nothing more for the majority of their customers except add $10-$15k to the overall price.
The Stingray makes 450 HP, the M5 makes 550 HP and that's before anything like the comp package. It's also a sports car, not intended to be used in all seasons... an M5 is a fast family cruiser, spinning 550+ HP in the rain is not a practical car.

Could it benefit from AWD? Yes. Will it really lose anything with AWD? Nope.
