Just found this article https://www.motorbiscuit.com/the-202...s-car-letdown/ 53.8% front for the 4 series. Same for the G8X AWD?

"Although it is a rear-biased AWD system, it could still potentially upset the platform’s overall balance. Given that it is an M model, the M4 will likely receive other tweaks to counter any potential understeer." Not sure whether this will mean more weight or merely tuning. The G8X RWD engine bay is packed to the brim ... I know this is not being scientific.

Perhaps BMW will
For sure the G8X will fair better, ///M will work their magic.
