You have great eyes- the motion ratio is slightly closer to 1:1 by my (admittedly crude) measurements. The new car approaches a ~ .63, relative to the old car's ~.56. BMW made quite a few changes to the rear suspension specifically. Beyond the obvious changes to the rear subframe, anti squat and anti dive geometries have changed from the E9x cars, as well as the differential mounting itself. The rear axles are no longer bolted to a traditional output shaft flange, but are instead a splined input shaft directly into the differential. This is useful for saving weight, but makes changing the rear axles on the car a much more involved and time consuming process. In general, most rear suspension components on the car are smaller, lighter, and unfortunately a bit weaker looking than the old E9x stuff. I am hoping that the lighter weight of the car will help to keep things together!

I would be surprised if they went all in with the M4 right away. I would guess they would still field an E92 car along side the new M4. Will wait and see.

Looks like some awesome pieces and excited to see what this partnership yields. See myself in an IND/fall line track prepped F80 in the future, or at least I can hope during the holidays
