It seems the M3 forum has changed as much as the M3 grill...here we just got the ring time within 2s margin for a new M3 and all of four members found it worth commenting on...

I'll be very, very impressed if this thing is in the 20s - that is very good company to be in. Wonder what would be left in the tank for the CSL version

My guess a lot. Maybe up to 100 extra hp, a few hundred lbs lighter, huge aero. Monster. I think we can take the 7:2X factory time for the competition car to the bank based on the source. It will be interesting to see what the Sport auto supertest manages.

1. + 50hp/30lbft - I haven't seen BMW be willing to advertise a 100hp increase, and based on what we're seeing, G8X probably doesn't need it 2. - 50lbs (net); they will advertise more weight saved but some of it will be due to optioning items like CCBs that are available on regular cars. GTS was really no lighter than a CS but it put the weight in go-fast areas - I imagine a G8X CSL will do the same 3. Manually adjustable, track specific suspension (maybe next gen KW CS) and even more aggressive alignment 4. Fitted with Michelin SC2Rs 5. Aero - aggressive splitter and waaang, similar to GTS in that it won't be GT3/4 proportioned aero Should blitz the 'ring with that

And why do we think this is the case? Looks aside, its just not a track car no matter how fast it is. The bigger the car gets and the more upmarket it goes continually changes the demos and those concerned with track times are not looking at the GM3/4.

Anyhow, I expected great ring times from these cars since BMW did admit that they benchmarked the GTS.

Yeah I never really understood the 666M wheels - they always seemed and still seem unnecessarily complex and heavy due to the complexity. The 763M adaptation of the GT3/GT4 style wheel that BMW had historically been using would have probably been a better choice with hindsight. I personally think it would have been really cool to see an 18in GT3/4 style setup or option. I imagine the G8X CSL/GTS will come with the new 763M/FI-R style M-Performance wheels (hopefully not with those acid green highlights though I know they said it was a "development wheel" but that comes off to me like a cover)

That or people don’t understand just how crazy fast a 7.2X time is for a stock M4. Last edited by solstice; 03-20-2021 at 07:52 PM.. |

I think most people just don't care about that. Its 0-60 and how fast they can get to the next stop light and look good doing it.

It seems the Corsas are favored on AWD cars since I see Lambo often use them for fast laps, are they better suited than the Cup 2s for this application or is that just a Viva Italia co-development thing? What is the reason you consider/favor Corsas on the G82 AWD?

That's my observation and it's valid up to now, look around and see for yourself where countless members denounce this car's performance as being inferior or barely better than predecessor before embargo and now even after cars are being reviewed and being picked up by actual owners. Furthermore, I didn't even specify who that sub group were since it's apparent not all F80, G20, F30, E90 (inserts any BMW sub group) enthusiasts hate this iteration. If anybody is talking shit it's you who took it upon yourself to quote me and gets personal because somehow I offended you and other F80 fans which is both laughable and preposterous.
