Great review and also interesting to see a Comp model weighing in at 1695kg (3733lbs)!
Compares well with the weight of the manual car and the "lightweight" manual std model from the BMW video.

A more realistic power test (compared to Dynojets etc) shows 522hp and 665Nm which is in line with factory figures.

Their verdict ("Fazit") is also interesting:

"Bravo BMW! The new M4 is fast like a 911, but not a 911 copy, which squats dull over the track and can seem emotionless. Precision and fun to drive is a better description (for the M4). And about the kidneys; you get used to everything".
To be clear, with "squats dull over the track and can seem emotionless" they did not mean the 911 either I think. They just say the M4 isn't that.
They did mean the 911 as I understood the original text in German.

That resonates with some other comparison reviews of the 911, it's a surgical instrument but could have been more fun/playful.
I guess it depends on preferences as well.
Yup. The non-GT 992 have lost the playful hair trigger character of old. The harder you push, the more distant it becomes.
