I think the parts itself wont be more engaging but once you intertwine the chassis, weight, s58 engine, and other variants about the G8X in AWD format, things will "feel" different. Arent the G8X Comps in the mid 38XX weight vs the F90 over 43XX lbs... thats meaningful and from my ownership of both they drive very differently. My RWD G80 feels much different and more engaging than my departed F90. The F90 was a soul crusher with speed but it still didnt have the steering connection and chassis response that the G80 has now.
M4 xdrive is listed at 1850 kg on bmw site while the F90 M5C is at 1970 kg on the same bmw site.

I am looking too for a more engaged drive, but not sure the M4 checks this box.
