Interesting point is, how much more weight the M xDrive will add, I'm sure the 30hp increase in hp will more than compensate, especially with the added traction.

I guess for the regions that see more ice and snow the xDrive makes way more sense.

Silverstone interior is the same as current M seats. 👍

Declined to accept my current F83 order, status 150, as the re-order after the BMW NA purge was spec incorrectly.

Looking forward in 1 year to order the G83 MxDrive comp full silverstone with tanzanite as a DD.

AWD faster off the line too, next to zero wheels spin. Assuming that is important to the buyer

Is there a torque limit at 550nm for the current 6 speed manual? It seem like the manual version will have 473bhp but only 406ft-lbs.

I don't really mind Schmee, but I have such a hard time listening to the lisp that I just have to turn it off. I do try though.

the reason why they won't officially release pics is bc BMW knows m3/m4 will look like crap to the majority of the public.

Can the camo just stay on for the front? It looks better that way.

The 275/285 stagger is interesting to hear. I always thought the rear needed to be a tad wider, but maybe this is a universal setup between the RWD and AWD models.

I think in this day and age a 295 on the rear should be the minimum.

You do know that it's going to be a soft top not like the F83...

OMG he can be annoying. Lol
He's like the new 4 series: annoying at first glance but entertaining once you look beyond that.

Wow the car sounds like it's gonna be awesome.

If by knowledgeable you mean, can read a brochure / spec sheet or tell you how a car looks vs prior gen... then sure.

If you mean actually telling us how the car drives and feels which is the most important part of a review; then no. Note, he also rarely if ever says anything negative about a car... because he is a follower / likes /views chaser not necessarily a true enthusiast.
He saw a niche and he capitalized on it... Youtube Fame, by building a sizesble supercar collection.
I don't think his aim is to get technical with details.
Most people here find him unwatchable for that reason. He doesn't claim to know it all. He is in it for money and fame.
His followers dont really care much about detailed specs and such.
You tube algorithms are based on views. The more views he gets the more money he makes.
If he gets technical he will lose his followers which equals less money.
The enthusiasts on YouTube who are technical only have modest following which equals modest income.

Yes I know, as I drive it top down 90% of the time. New production number omitted heated steering wheel and neck warmer— a must for winter top down driving. Have a F85, future F95, for when I need a hard top to drive.

Mater of fact I saw early prototypes in Arjeplog Sweden last winter of G23 at the BMW Winter Test Center. The G80 had just arrived and was testing at night to avoid being photographed.

Would you have preferred the hard top or no?

Why would there be increased turbo lag? The engine is the same spec it's the S58, same power, same torque arriving at the same time.

"Manual M3 used on track in didn't go below 2600rpm, shocker....."

ZF doesn't introduce lag, holding it in 8th at 1500rpm in manual mode to try and get views for youtube review will though....
