Because automakers always make cars too stiff and they think that means its "sporty" when in reality you want softer springs or spring rates for more grip and stability. Im pretty sure dinan springs are softer than normal and some decent RND goes into making springs for M cars.

With that in mind I’m not really concerned about the statement above. I’m more curious to see how it has evolved into a better tool for performance driving. Same story as the ship for NA type of engines have sailed with all the glory they are capable of and now it’s no longer about comparing the FI engines to them but to see how the FI engines evolve and improve on their strengths. The friction feedback elimination is nevertheless disturbing in historic context... |

I was upbeat about the video until that part, and then a part of me just wanted to cry.

If those are production headlights in the video then definitely the G20 face (Normal sized grilles) will make it to the G80 as the headlight-grille integration & the e46 style kinked headlights are clearly visible.

BMW is having an identity crisis.

Like I wrote in another thread, they don't want to scare off the customers too soon. BMW hopes that by the time the car has been revealed the performance figures will attract people despite the ugliness.

Care to elaborate? I know it can be exaggerated in certain conditions but it looked like that even on some straighter looking parts of the road. Or does it take time to settle once you change the wheels? Didn't know it takes that long.

If the M340ix is any indication of performance, then these will surely be monsters! (albeit ugly monsters).

Those are not the production fenders That's actually why you're seeing so much wheel gap
