BMW did not focus on weight reduction this time. Instead they focused on traction and grip. That is IMO the main advancement of the G8X generation. AWD + wider front tires and front track. We are also getting a healthy power bump which we did not get with the F8X. And I suspect that is why we got the weight work on the F8X, BMW couldn’t get the expected (by us the consumer) HP bump out of the S55.
Cadillac is in the new CT* cars that will likely drive and sound better than the new M cars.
