This seems to be following the common theme for these reviews:
1. Design is iffy 2. Everything else is stellar This one has the added sprinkles of "why won't they offer me less customization" but that's basically irrelevant to those who like that kind of thing. |

The review is okay but Quiroga spends a few paragraphs whining about too many vehicle settings, pining for the days when an M car came with a single suspension and steering setting. I'm starting to get really tired of reviewers that spend a good portion of the review reminiscing about the old days as that's not what I'm reading the review for. You don't see cell phone reviewers pining for the simplicity of old rotary dial telephones and it's such a shame that automobile journalists lack a degree of professionalism to review the product as-is and if they don't like all the settings on today's car to make a separate column about it.

2015 M4 6MT as tested by C&D for comparison. Even in the 6MT tune, the S58 packs some serious punch.

Comparing the C&D G82 results to the F82, despite the top end advantages the 5-60 time is similar and top gear acceleration is actually worse in the G82. This must be a function of the larger turbos and tuning of the S58 compared to S55.

Exactly. Lower compression ratio and bigger turbos will yield a higher boost threshold and potentially more lag. It is known that the S58 has less bottom end than the S55, but I find it can give a character more reminiscent to traditional ///M cars.

Well the settings are part of the car, so it makes sense he talks about it in the review... of the car.

I somewhat get being annoyed by individual settings though. Now that we can modify so much, and that so many parts are ECU integrated, having simple factory preset modes is always appreciated.

As echoed, impressive for RWD manual on wet surface, like that weight figure too.

The awd Comp will be much much faster than the x3m. It's 600lbs lighter.

They're reviewing a car in 2021 and whining about configurable drive modes? I mean, damn guys, the last M3 that didn't have that was the E46 M3 that stopped production in 2006? That is a long time ago!! Cars should be reviewed against their contemporary competition. Who gives a crap than when dinosaurs roamed the earth there was a car that weight 2k lb? Also, having to read long paragraphs where I have to hear someone's opinion about something's aesthetics is annoying. I don't give a crap what they think of the car's looks. I will make up my own mind about it. |

The fact that it trapped 2 mph faster is the key. Once up to a speed where traction becomes less of an issue for forward propulsion the manual G80/82 should be quicker around a track or on the highway than a X3M.

Personally, the G8X could have Bugatti performance but I could not pull the trigger based on looks. |
