It would be even worse than all the people who cried wolf about someone else breaking a GT-R transmission by abusing launch mode back in 2009.
I guess its just the new BMW then lol

I was reading the review of the new M5 in Road & Track yesterday. It sounds pretty cool how it switches from RWD to AWD and the performance stats are amazing. However, it is still a big heavy A/T sedan.

I know what you mean, its like the size of a freight train, just from eyebaling them, (and probably goes like one too) I'd say the M3 is closer in size to old M5s than this new one (or even the last gen one)...the new ones probably as big as the old 7 series

2014 Infiniti Q60 Coupe Press Kit - Infiniti Q60 - INFINITI Online Newsroom
Link to the Infiniti press release for 2014 models stating that the Sport Package includes a vlsd differential including awd models. I haven't put mine up on stands to check it yet. I suppose they could be wrong...
