It's the no frills M2. No roof, non electric seats, manual gear box, no further options other than a sat Nav

Have been in a BMW after several new-model Porsches, Cayman S, 991 Carrera S and more. I LOVE my 2015 M4, I will stay in a BMW!
I have always found BMW's to have absolutely shitty brakes after one or two laps on a track, none of what you say in regards to brakes and brake fade is a surprise. I have Carbon's on my M4 - wow - no more brake fade for me! A question, and it relates to these fabulous lap times, drives, and traction in these big cars, for instance, the X6M: Where is the 'weak point'? Since the car and the chassis is so capable, does that mean (I'm just guessing here) the (expensive!) tires are the weak link, and will need replaced many times more often versus a smaller car w/less mass, ie: M2 or M3/4? It's great to extoll the virtues of the engineering feats, but somebody has to pay somewhere, some time. There is no free lunch. Reality check. |

Did you read the article? It didn't say it was an M car.

Bunch of win right here. Love this statement and the GTS breakdown

Well then we would have to have our race engineer properly take advantage of the GTS setup spectrum, right? I await the day a review puts in that effort.

Edit, also the fact that uhp/summer tires like moss street tires >300 tw and less have gotten so much better too. Back when I was in college auto crossing the snot out of my then newish 202 wry wagon, a set of victoracers were worth 2-3 seconds on a 50 second course, Nuts.

I bet 2 seconds could be saved on the M2 with cup tires. Close to matching the lap time for 1/2 the price
