R&T on Monticello track: G82 xDrive quicker than the critically acclaimed CT5-V BW
Times are below. From the article:
“ BMW edges much closer to perfecting the road formula with its newest M4, sampled here with all-wheel drive and a Competition badge glued to its trunk. You have to respect the M4’s all-out pace, its massive mechanical grip at all four corners (enough to match any of the supercars on this test), and its 3.0-liter twin-turbo six that punches out 503 horses but feels far closer to 600. The M4 never feels outclassed on a backroad, even with supercars filling its mirrors. BMW produced a faster and more luxurious M4 than the last. It sharpened the coupe’s steering, improved front-end grip, and then wrapped that around an interior that feels truly special. On paper it’s a triumph. But much of the character from older M3s is still missing—the tactility, focus, and charisma. BMW can find its way back; the M2 CS is proof of that. But this fresh-from-the-womb M4 has room to improve.” Article link: https://www.roadandtrack.com/reviews...r-of-the-year/ |

The character they are speaking of ( tactility , focus , and charisma" , some individuals here would call that "Unpredictable rear end" & " drama" I guess we get what we got , perhaps the CSL/CS versions will be more raw. |

Also its the most marked up bitch as well. But we have to sing praises to the G8X chassis as well for what it does and what it costs.

Yes on the former, and yes on the latter. I absolutely love my 718 GT4 but also love my G80 M3 as well.

What is most impressive - the car holds its own against $250-$300K cars and is livable as everyday vehicle. All 3 cars above M4 are not everyday cars (they are expensive toys for the weekend or track car) - non of them have usable trunk, rear seat or practicality /ability to be used everyday. |
