For some of us this is the key question. How does it carry the added weight? Not if it accelerates harder, we all know it will but how it impact turn in, agility and balance. If you are more of a casual driver than a hard core driving enthusiast, does it feel heavier and slower to react when changing directions when pushing it?

Btw, huge thanks for posting here, we are starved for any information you provide, the more the better. You are in position to scoop people like Chris Harris, Tiff Needell and the likes, take it...
I share Solstice's concern about the effect of added weight. This uneasy feeling is compounded by the lack of driving reviews so close to introduction. I bought an early E90 M3 in March 2008 and recall seeing reviews 8 or 9 months prior to that. Now we're 2 or 3 months before launch and - crickets. M cars should be great track performers right out of the box. I hope the G90 doesn't disappoint in this regard.
This is one of the few reviews of the G82 from a track session:
