The dude went to the F8X launch and met with the BMW M engineers. Fast forward and comes out present day misinformed going into zero detail about some of the under the cover updates BMW made to the '18 ZCP. F8X remains the lightest and most raw vehicle in its class. C63S? Porky 2 ton piggy with cheap bacon meat interior. Alfa? At least 150-200lbs heavier w/ sloppy e-brakes. RS5? Same fat chick on skates with engine on wrong side of front axle design.

The only vehicle that real life people track is the F8X. There are legitimate reasons why this is the case.

He's not only drab, he's gotten lazy, lost a step. It all makes sense why MT dumped him. Who seriously goes to edmunds.com for anything materially important?

anywhere i have looked the alfa seems ~200lbs lighter than the F80. the e-brakes are definitely weird though. i drove a base in oakville a few months ago when i was checking it out as an alternative to the F80. the quick turn in i kinda liked. interior was nice but prefer F80. C class is pretty but not as purposeful as the F80 imo.
