Even with 19-inch Michelin Pilot Sport 4S summer tires (18s with all-seasons are standard), it managed only 0.91 g of skidpad grip, and understeer dominates.
The readout showed 53.8 percent of this car's nearly two-ton mass was positioned over the front axle. This certainly contributed to the M440i's poor 0.91-g skidpad result, the worst we've ever achieved in a Michelin Pilot Sport 4S–shod car.

Good example of that one number isn’t always telling the other.
The F90 pulls a 1g with over 54% weight on the front axle. I expect the G8X to do a bit better than that.
