As someone who regularly uses that part of the power band I'd love to hear if you notice any difference!
It's unfortunate to hear that the ZF is shifting that way under heavy load. I know many owners feel it's an acceptable compromise against the added low speed comfort, but in an M car it seems like a questionable decision...
Looking forward to hearing your further experiences and whether you end up feeling the G80 is the right car for your driving needs

Thank you Filo
ZF8 miracle I referenced would include break-in service 'tune' that solved the issues . . . not forthcoming
As you suggest, performance compromise is not forward momentum for an ///M car icon
I will TRY and refrain from harsh conclusion until due seat time is acquired, and update as indicated . . . I fear the ZF8 sits on a fixed suspension, so to speak
