The F82 M4 std had 52,8/47,2
The F82 M4 GTS had 52,9/47,1
Yes, the G8x carries more weight on the front axle due to higher curb weight (although not as much heavier than the F82 if optioned right).
But the weight distribution is pretty similar to the F82...
By comparison the Audi RS4/5, which suffers from "Audisteer", weighs 1805/1740kg and has a 56,3/43,7 (RS4) and 58,2/41,8 (RS5) weight distribution.
To put that in perspective:
The RS5 weighs 1013kg on the front axle
The M4 manual weighs 916kg on the front axle, or in the case of the "lightweight" version from the first video, 882kg
The M4 Comp weighs 935kg on the front axle
The F82 weights are taken from Sport Auto Supertests and are based on tested weights. The G82 weights are taken from the tech sheets from BMW posted on Bimmerpost.

Very interesting. Thanks for digging up that F82 data. Insignificant change in weight distribution indeed.
