Its most definitely a first world problem because every time I get out of the Tesla and jump into my G80X I get aural pleasure, amazing steering, a nimble chassis and just a better connection to what my driver inputs are doing. No different than when I leave the Tq Beast in the Plaid and jump into the R8 that begs to be ripped to 8500 rpms plus and that sonorous V10 symphony. Just completely different, rewarding driving experiences that Im fortunate enough to enjoy.

The tq curve for the m3 coupled with its 1000 lb less heft serves the car right as long as one is in the right settings of course. But the G80X is not remotely short of the ability to move on demand. Its not a Plaid in any shape or form in that regard but its formidable enough.
