And the tiny rear brake calipers. M3 lost its purpose as a practical grocery getter/weekend track toy, it's just a slower M5.
I might go with the M5 but it’s not because I think the G8X is going to drive/feel like a small M5. If I’m doing it’s because it’s the last and most powerful BMW M V8 and since it’s IMO a comparably screaming value at current out of the door prices.

I suspect the G8X will still feel at home on the track. BMW would not have put it against the F82C on the preproduction track event if it was a dog in comparison. Too much paper decision/judgement here at this stage.
