I don't think so. The f80 is smaller, more nimble, lighter, and can be had with a DCT a faster and more interesting transmission. Normally you pay extra for those things, you certainly will on the CS. |
But it's more luxurious, has a higher tuning threshold, dramatically outperforms the f8x on track, and has no known Achilles heel(crankhub)…
Not to mention real world figures have the g8x within 100lb of the f8x.
It also sounds a lot better |
Better sound would be nice but I think if you're looking at M cars luxury and tech are not your highest priorities. If they are what you want there are other brands that do it better. Sure it's faster but a Tesla plad is even faster. In this generation it seems like speed isn't very interesting, I'd rather have something fun where I actually feel something. I'm sure the new c63 is going to be very fast, with a 4 cylinder and electric motor but that doesn't interest me. |
I've driven my share of f82 and I wouldn't say they're more "fun". *aside from dct*
Especially the garbage eps those cars came with and unpredictable rear end.
It definitely doesn't look more fun getting gap'd by a car with just a Racechip from any speed when you're fbo with e85.
And in what world are m cars not a balance of luxury and performance?
I'll certainly admit the f87 is definitely more fun.
F82 is just worse.
