They could put the hardest riding suspension possible and the most uncomfortable CFRP seats in G8x but it will still feel like a beefed up 3 series with that ZF8, less like an M3.
ZF8 doesn't match the character of rest of the car.

I don't know what BMW is trying to achieve by reducing character from the car other than cost cutting. It's going to be a nice BMW, but it's not M3.
