Also, the summary says "Around the Nordschleife both the M3 and M4 have set nearly identical 7:50 times with various drivers." What part of that is repeating "BMW marketing"? I can't read German and maybe you do so I'm not aware of what part of that article you're referring to that indicates the time is not based on their tests. |

Note that from what I read in the article, they have not actually tested the cars on the 'ring, they only refer to what various BMW test drivers were able to achieve.

And like I said, factory times are almost always faster than magazine times. BMW has not released times for the new M4/3, just that it's 15s faster than their e9x M3 factory tests. iirc sport auto tested the old M3 at 8:05. Thus if the gap is consistent then that's how people got 7:50, an entirely feasible number.

Just added this part to my OP (also from the AS review):
"That the new M3/4 has been developed on the Nürbrurgring is easily detectable on the topographically challenging track here in Spain. While other cars struggle with a unstable rear end over the crests and undulations, the new M3/4 convinces with it's balance and agility. There is no malice from the car driving on the limit" |

Why should they? Every turbo engine has lag in some sort. Just saying it has lag would be like saying the manual transmission version has a clutch pedal

I have not read that BMW claimed a 7:55 time anywhere? Do you have a link or source for that claim? BMW usually don't go public with Nürburgring lap time... |
