downforce F90: does BMW publish the downforce or lift generated?

when i read about Porsche models, they will say how much front downforce and how much rear lift (racier/higher end ones produce downforce) is produced by their cars at certain speeds

but can't find this about M340i touring, or M550i, or M5C Lci for example

reason i ask is i see people driving the M5 and turning at 160-220kph on the nurburgring and I wonder why the cars don't fly off the road, what downforce is produced, etc. at 200kph my M340i touring feels like the front is not connected to the road anymore. 550 feels much more stable, probably due to the big V8 pushing the front down.
