Love the car but I'm sick of track videos showing a bunch of pointless drifting.

And for the love of all that is sacred, please, stop showing footage of a car braking and drifting, matched to a soundtrack of a car accelerating and up-shifting! Not cool. Not professional. Not at this level. Where's your game BMW?

Because they can't give us a laptime with shitty driving and drifting like that.

This is a very impressive 0 - 62 which it would even be for an awd, 0 - 60 would be 3.6 seconds. But hey, who cars about those small differences? This thing will be a Beast on any track!
As I posted previously, BMW tech docs with the press release quote 3.7s 0-60mph...

And the GTS' time is confirmed? And BMW using the "unconfirmed" 'Ring time is not marketing hot air as well?

Remember the Giulia Quadrifoglio has more hp than the standard M3 sedan. If Alfa Romeo makes a stripped out coupe with the same engine, it might be "bye-bye" GTS.

Die drifting reviews and never return. I've never been a fan of Chris Harris mainly of all the silly drifting. Hardly no one does this regularly or at all on the street or the track so what's the point? I get it if you get free tires to destroy that it's a giggle but keep it out of the reviews please.

The one exception for me is to watch expensive cars being drifted in the snow or gravel where drifting actually is fast. The Bentley the US Top Gear's Tanner Faust punished in the snow was a gas to watch. Best episode of that show.

Never had a chance against a GT3 or speciale or z06. The same story as the old ones...

Data tends to indicate otherwise this time around.

Given with a likely close to 600 hp, I'd say no numbers don't dictate anything like that.
GT3 despite being many years old now and only 475 is still 3 seconds faster at the ring and the RS is 8 seconds faster. And the 7:28 is only a claimed time. Hell, on street tires the 991.2S is 7:30. Same tires it would be faster than the m4 GTS.
