Extremely poor campaign this far BMW.
I am one of those. The marketing campaign as a whole gave me the clear impression that I am no longer the target audience for the M3/4. Regarding performance, it's not only 0-60, but also a quoted in gear acceleration that is SLOWER than the F8X for the 6MT, which shares the same gearing as the G8X, pointing to a laggier engine. I was on the fence regarding the G8X, the marketing campaign definitely pushed me over to the other side.
