Good enough for the street but overall stiff riding. I assume the G8x will have this signature as well but it will be incredibly dominant in what it can do. The 911 wins a lot of battles vs M3 but in the areas of value and practicality, the bimmer wins. Performance might be much closer than we expect too, but we'll have to see.

Thats one of the aspects of M Cars I dislike the most (stiff ride) When comparing to other brands I always feel like BMW purposely makes the cars stiff to had to the sporty "feeling". It's been proven before that a compliant suspension is faster most of the time, it's like they want to give you an impression, when I look at the G80 with the digital dash and awkward styling it makes me feel like playing a video game.

I will be having my M2 suspension out for the 4th time trying to get a balance I like...
