I'd absolutely expect a F80 stage 1 take a G80.
It would be very embarrassing for BMW if the predecessor would be quicker over a quarter mile compared to its successor, so based on that point alone for me it is a no brainer that the drag race conducted in the video you reference is not actually stock v stock (as claimed in the video) and therefore not a reliable means compare how well (or not) the new G8X performs.
EDIT: As for the first rolling start test, Matt mentions he is in Comfort mode in the M440i (so I imagine it would be same for the M4's, ergo transmission in D). Yeah no surprise the DCT is going to be quicker with the kickdown and getting that power down.
Disclaimer: I have a G80 on order.
