The gts runs 25 seconds faster. Yes it has 70 more horses and a better race car but not 25 seconds better, that is an eternity even on that track. I think there was a few videos i saw of mid to low 7:4x.

Also this is a fast track, lots of bombing straights and high speed rundowns, it definetly favours high horsepower cars even big suvs.
How about Sachsenring then? M4 Comp is around 1:36.00 and X3M Comp ran 1:37.60

My point that it would come down to driver skill with regular drivers is still largely reasonable. Despite being SUVs and heavier, they are more competent around a track or turns than most would think.

When you have AWD + more power + more weight vs RWD + less power + less weight, the results should be fairly obvious.

From a dig, the X6M is winning 8/10, unless the M4 gets a perfect launch. The M4 should start catching up towards the end. From a roll, and at higher speeds, the M4 should win.

Same thing applies to other AWD cars like the M550i, which I've found out the hard way lol.

Isn't a X6M a v8 with twin turbo vs M4 v6 twin turbo? How do that a comparison?

You are right, possibly with the only exception that I don't believe M4 can ever keep up off the line.

We did the real life comparison between the stock X6M Competition and 340i x-drive BM3 Stage 1/xHP Stage 2. These cars are almost exactly same fast, 0-260 km/h resulted in difference of maybe 10 meters in favor of 340i.

As I know, that stock M4 is faster than this 340iX at higher speeds, you can expect M4 to be faster from a high speed rolls, and pass the X6M on drag at approx. 200 km/h.

In the wet difference is even bigger, X6M will still put all of his power to the ground.
Active roll bars will make X6M to stay flat in the curves.
Two things where is M4 better is looks and sporty feeling, but that will change with new G82
G82 isnt good looking but it may still look better than an X6M...
