And that the thing with the G8X, it’s closer to being an M5 than it is of being an M3...
Interesting, according to bmwblog.com the G80 (3,924 lbs) is heavier than the F80 (3,515 lbs), by 409 lbs (both base car with manual). According the C&D, the weight of the 2021 M5 is 4,262 lbs, which makes it 338 lbs heavier than the G80. So that means the G80 is closer in weight to the M5 than the F80 M3!
If you add the awd weight to the M3/4 then you are within 100 lbs to the M5.
