Savagegeese posted a review on the 4BW last week as well.

Having owned mine for a few months now I'm still very happy with the vehicle. Some things I believe most people would like better than the G82 would be the gauge cluster is much better in the 4BW. It offers better looking modes, it has more customization and it offers more viewable information overall. The manual feel is much better and the car has full camber adjustment front and rear out to -2.5deg.

One big thing for me but may be different for others or even the opposite is that the seats in the 4BW are very comfortable while offering the same amount of bolstering. The G82 non-ventilated seat I sat in did in fact feel a bit better than the ventilated version in my 2020 X3M(like others on the forum thought). But they were still uncomfortable for me which I think is an issue between my back and how they're shaped.

Things most people will more than likely say the G82 is better at is that the interior quality of the 4BW is that of a 35k car with no options to make it better. The rear seat room is very tight and only good for kids. My 5'6" wife's knees touch the seat if she sits behind me and I'm only 5'9". The G82 looked like it had at least 2" more knee room. The car looks better from the front but the side and rear isn't as good as the G82. Finally, the G82 leases much better if you don't want to finance.

Things I think they're even on is brake feel is about the same in regards to daily driving. The steering feel is OK I guess but both suck compared to my 987.2. I think the mag ride suspension is better for a daily than the G82 but the roads were very smooth where the G82 was driven so no confirmation there. Ground clearance seemed very similar between the two vehicles and I haven't looked up actual numbers. Overall exhaust sound is obviously different but I'd say they're about equal on what you get.
