As a french speaker, I can tell you that to summarize:

-the car sacrifices rawness for refinement
-the car is brutally quick
-the amount of grip is sensational
-the amount of stability control and driver feedback is definitely elevated from the last generation

Now that is a wonderful blue and colour, more so in person. An eye turner but doesn't grab too much attention. Perfect balance!

And it is a listed individual option for the M3 and M4.

For the M3 I would go this combo (maybe red interior if there is an option for the bucket seats, and bi-color competition wheels):

That's where I'm leaning myself. I feel like purple and orange or tartufo would be neat if they were two tone seats with black sections. I do wonder how it would look in twilight purple with fiona red. I figure it would either be really cool or really bad with no in between.

I told myself I was going AMG GTR or 911 next year, but I could do a G80 a lot sooner on the saving path. Tough decisions. Immediate gratification is hard to turn down.

I'm all about Individual cars because at the end of the day, $5k is not a horrible price to have something unique when you're already paying $70k plus.

But I have to say, I'd be very happy with IoMG

I like to justify it like this: it’s only $3000 more than tanzanite, or only $300 more than the external carbon package. I’m strongly considering San Marino.

Although I was living in Paris for quite some time, I didn't bother to learn the french

Now I have to ask you, can you also summarize what the race driver has to say about the car in this video?



This blue color also looks good on the car!

The driver at the track is actually a Michelin test driver responsible for the evaluation of Michelin tires on M cars. They are on the Ladoux Michelin test track in Clermond Ferrrand. He is saying :
- Strong evolution in term of grip vs previous generation with more than one second saved per lap
- At grip limit more "powerful" front axle and more stability of the rear axle. The 510 hp are very easy to pass to the road thanks to the fine tuning of the chassis.
- Car is on CCB, very hard braking capability
- Despite the huge grip of the Sport Cup2 the car is still playfull. You can place it at entry turn and slightly drift the rear . If wanted large drift of the rear can be made, which remains a significant part of the pleasure on this type of vehicle and is what the customers want for track days.
