Our group of friends that we track with every month is full of F8x M3/M4's all with varying levels of upgrades, and on average at Buttonwillow an F8x with Coilovers, 200 treadwear tires, and a Stage 2 tune is around 1:55 to 1:59 depending on the driver/conditions. Most F8x owners seem to use the sub-2min mark as a big goal to reach.

I was driving it by a kind of instinct, only I was in a different dimension." You guys have no idea how excited he was when he saw what BMW named that color haha

Our Operations director favors the other quote though "If you no longer go for a gap which exists you are no longer a racing driver."

He also chose the G80 in Sao Paulo Yellow and painted our waiting room to match lol, and Sao Paulo, Brazil is where Senna was born.
Got it. Enjoy in good health.
