For me the G80 only makes sense with xDrive, or it will have the C63 AMG syndrome and will drift and not put that power down. But damn, at about 4200lbs with xDrive this is SUV territory! I’ve followed this forum for a while now and my expectations were rocked by the sheer weight of the thing. I actually like the looks, and I'm absolutely not bothered by the huge grills etc., but the weight of this behemoth is absolutely staggering. I understand that the M division does their best to soup up whatever they are given, but at this weight let's not beat around the bush - it is a proper pig! At around 4200lbs this is almost 400lbs heavier than the Nissan GTR. I mean it is knocking on the door of the M5’s weight!
At about 4350lbs, the X4M Competition clocks the 1/4 mile at 117mph tops. The M3 xDrive should do it at around 120 to 122 mph so that's not faster than the F80 M3 CS.
Why on earth is it this car so heavy? The G20 M340i is lighter than the F30 340i, and the F80 was lighter than the E90 M3.
