Difficult making a car that needs to cater to the luxury comfort enthusiasts but claim to not lose the track readiness of the M cars of yore.
The track readiness of the M cars of yore?

If you mean adding track pads, fluid, front camber and tires then yes the M cars of yore were mostly track ready. And many people eventually sacrifice more daily comfort by swapping the suspension out for a set of coil overs.

The new one yes is significantly heavier meaning it will likely go through consumables at a faster rate, same as any fast&heavy track car out there (Nissan GTR, Mustangs, the heavy Camaros etc). But I expect the “track readiness” to be similar to prior models.
