6 months "review" (and bonus track photos / videos)
(Sorry for a long post - there are videos and photos to the bottom)
I have owned this car for 6 months now and was able to get an idea of how it behaves both as a daily drive and as a track car. Intro Coming from the F82, it had some big shoes to fill.As a daily As a daily driver, it's really really nice. It feels more like a 5 series, than my previous 4.On the track I want to preface all of this by saying, I *do not* consider myself any track expert by any means - I do this for fun, and try to not to push myself to dangerous situations.Circuit de Bresse Nürburgring

Excellent video! I loved watching you chase while exhibiting superb patience through the corners! The G sounded solid on the throttle, and that track lets the car sing.
I did a three hour “test drive” of a G80 on the BMW Performance Center North Palm Circuit in Thermal CA as part of private instruction on getting in and out of corners… My impressions were much like yours, that there was a distinct hesitance in the G coming out of the corners. My instructor, who was only somewhat familiar with the G platform, suggested it wasn’t turbo lag but trying-to-find-the-gear-lag… I’d likely warm up to the G automatic 8 tranny with more seat time, but I sure was wishing for my F82 M4cs DCT (I’ve had 4 consecutive cars with sequential transmissions). Good luck finding your sweet spot, that looks like a tasty track to work it out. |
