If you find the G8x too composed it's because you're not pushing hard enough, coming from an F8x you have to 'reset your adaptions' to appreciate how capable the new platform is.
That said, considering the M240i is:
- heavier
- less powerful
- slower in a straight line
- wears slightly less performing tyres
- cheaper
- a non M-car
the lap time compared to the RS3 is definitely good and the Audi confirms that it is heavily understeering and highly overrated (as I thought when I drove it).
That's basically the same lap time as the A45 AMG S with PS4S, please take a look at the times of the S3/A35AMG (the equivalent of the M240i in Audi and MB's lineups).
The new M2 will be a beast.
