The overboost is like good-better -best.....  Just amazing the feel....
Now for the M4 I have no doubt, it will have more than sufficient HP and Nm and probably overboost function like the 1M , the weight is what matters most for me, since the car has grown in size yet again. |
+1 and well said!
On another note, I would like to point out an observation of some 1M owners who track their cars frequently or who race in competitions, some of them are not huge fans of the overboost function (in those conditions) due to the nature of the system activated totally under the control of ECU and therefore quite unpredictable, especially when you are cornering at the limit of adherence. That's exactly when you might do without that extra wave of torque hitting the rear.
I like it a lot, since it obviously works perfectly under road/street driving conditions. It is like finding another piece of chocalate when you thought that the previous was the last
