This was done in 2015-2016 with the base F82 M4 at the time according to the date stamps on bimmerpost. This makes sense because the OG was faster than a F82 M4 on streets of willow (los angeles based track) by the hands of Randy Pobst. Both cars were manual and the M4 was in standard non-comp form with carbon roof, CCB and cloth seats.
These tracks are very small and the difference in power doesn't come into play because there's no room to use it. Both cars have the same technology and suspension set up so it comes down to weight and braking essentially.
According to the hockenheim shorts lap times page the list goes as according
M4 GTS
M2 (CS I believe, I don't see the comp being over 3 seconds a lap faster than the OG on such a small track)
M4 Comp
M3 F80
M2 (same lap time as F80)
And M4 (.10 a second slower than OG)
The G82 is a huge step up in all forms, especially auto and xdrive. In another test on a local British track which was also small in size, the xdrive form was half a second faster than its RWD only form. With the bump in power and tech/suspension, I would imagine a RWD G82 (not even the AWD) would best the M4 GTS on a track, leaving it to absolutely destroy everything else.
With that said, the new M2 should be the fast track version of all M cars once again, especially with a tune. If they leave the AWD out then my theory might not come true but time will tell.
G82 RWD Nurburgring time - 7:30
F82 M4 - 7:52
That's a MASSIVE step up.
