Poor lad in the F82. I've seen that too. In his defense I really think he lost control b/c of that manhole cover. Left wheel lost grip while the right continued to grab road...
For these G80 owners though, I dunno how they end up in these positions or with as much damage as they've been receiving. Maybe the pig-nose grill is helping them catch enough air to take flight? |

The best 1/4 mile time I have heard for the G8X is 11,4 sec. and that is probably the fastest time for any RWD BMW. |

Is there a ring time yet for the G car yet? I don't do that type of racing so I don't really care but would like to know what it did. Also, I would hope it's faster than a 12 year old model GTR. That is my biggest complaint about the new M. It seems to be barely quicker than a 10 year old GTR. I was just hoping for a bit more I guess. Maybe one day I will grab an AWD

There is an upside, you can't see the grill now.
No doubt driver nursing their pride , looking at the insurance form they now have to fill in and wondering what words to put in that little box.... |

I'm sure if the GTR was only RWD, the G8X would toast that car on the drag strip. We'll see what the AWD G8X will bring to the table, but I'm sure it is going to be pretty good because the RWD is using the second gear for the launch, and using the fist gear and all 4 wheels is going to be much more quicker! https://fastestlaps.com/tracks/vairano-handling-course https://fastestlaps.com/tracks/castle-combe Here are the track times BMW M4 Competition 1:14.18 510hp / 1745kg Nissan GT-R (R35 550 PS) 1:15.56 550hp / 1736kg Nissan GT-R (R35 570PS) 1:15.72 570hp / 1777kg Nissan GT-R (R35) 1:16.69 480hp / 1740kg -------------------------------------------------------------------- BMW M4 Competition 1:13.30 510hp / 1745kg Nissan GT-R (R35) 1:14.60 480hp / 1740kg |

I'd like to know what the G80 does around the Ring. And yeah the GTR is a fat pig, they definitely need a redesign. I feel like they have had the exact look for 12 plus years. I really like the concept Z a lot, I hope they go in that direction with the next iteration.

Not complaining about the ring time. I was just curious what it was. I personally don't road track my cars. My GTR does exactly what It was built for. I also agree with people it's not the nicest car ever made/ ugly even. ( This is of course is everyones opinion, just like people who hate the new G models so that is what it is ) But it fucking rips!! Puts a smile on my face and makes passengers shit themselves ( In a good way) I've had other high powered cars and this by far has been THEY best overall. Not sure how many people have ridden in a 1000 whp car, but once you do/ your hooked. Your 11.3 -11.7 sec G whatever is going to feel like your Grandparents station wagon. LOL. I will be sad to sell my F82, but its time for a new project. I'm not hating on the new M cars at all. I like them. Have owned 3. Just going for something different. I look forward to big power AWD G series. Just one more car to whip up on in my UGLY FAT NISSAN

I'm not saying the ring time is the problem. I was just HOPING that 11 years after the GTR was released, this new M3/4 would have been a bit more aggressive. Not saying it's a turd, I guess I just had to high of expectations.

Reminds me on that one, when the F80 / F82 came out on the market.

The GTR was light years ahead of the competition with its intelligent ATTESA E-TS Pro in combination with the transaxle architecture. It had a lot of weight on the rear axle, and was capable to torque vector to each wheel independently. Also, when I'am not mistaken, it incurred a yaw sensor to determine the yaw rate and anticipated on "what's next" to sustain and control the yaw on entry, apex and exit. This was translated as "this is the first supercar that a granny can drive around the circuit at 90% of its abilities". All competitors were still in the highly analog macho driver controlled phase. But in the meantime, most have bridged the gap. |

Watch this honey, just another 10 yards and 2 degrees more yaw angle and I've nailed that 5 star drift analyser score.
