It could be that they reached the limit of the M suspension at 7:15 without risking to stick it in the trees. I don’t agree that it can’t be addressed if that’s what’s going on here, a set of high quality coilovers built for these speeds should take care of it. Maybe there’s another 5-10s that could have been unlocked that way but it made the car a hateful thing on the street and BMW decided against it.

I still think there’s a chance of some sandbagging here.
not a nurburgring race driver so i don't know

i watched the start of the CSL vs Touring

in the first 30s alone, the CSL was pulling a max 1.8G in corners while the Touring maxed at 1.5G
CSL consistently between 1.4-1.6G while Touring 1.2-1.4G

i think there is no comparison here. the CSL feels so easy while the Touring was getting wrestled against understeer is what those numbers are telling me.
