yeah they have always been heavy but it sounds like the old car was more nimble since smaller. The new one is just as wide as the m4 but slightly shorter.

Typical BMW Evolution. Am I wrong?

This car is it for manual transmission cars from BMW, especially with full ICE. RIP

They are heavy… Before is with the factory cast wheels and after is with BMW forged wheels from a G80/G82.

It is rather high… pretty sure that is what Dan is referencing.

Several G87 deliveries yesterday and the initial owner reviews appear to favorable. Naturally, they are in the honeymoon phase.

Edit: The blue appears to look better with the bi-color wheels.

I stand by my comment! Although, frankly my car is probably the same…
