The raving about the front axle vs the F8X has been consistent from the people who have driven it so far so yes, the chassis should be much improved.
It's also just more nose heavy with wider tires.

Well, how about they would instead decrease the power output and add lightness? We wouldn't have to have overweight slushbox M3s with xDrive.

Implementing AWD to a very powerful front-engined RWD car is not a real solution but rather a bandaid because the industry and most customers want power and speed without any additional effort required.

He's definitely one of the very few UK journalists who like the F80.

Most people also haven't taken it to the track and are capable of driving near the limits of the car in DSC OFF. 😉
