It’s a myth that BMW M cars are constant in any other way than the general design brief of a daily usable performance car based on the standard Series cars. M cars have always used whatever designs and technologies best help them achieve the described brief. I4, I6, V8, turbos. Manual, SMG, DCT, auto. RWD, toggle-able AWD. 2-door, 4-door, convertible, wagon.
Everyone just wants more of the same from the most recent generation since that’s what they got used to and liked and maybe even aspired to for the past 5 or so years.

I don't want to be carrying around a heavy ass AWD system at all times whether it's switched on or not.
I'd imagine this car will already be sitting around ~3800 lbs as is. An AWD variant M2 would tip 4000 lbs, that would be the definition of contradictory.
