So at least the front page title should be adapted! Otherwise it is a bit misleading?

To be honnest, I was kind of disappointed by the (lack of) rear traction of the g80 M3 and M4. If you turn off the traction control, you just have a very hard time to put power down, even in dry road. The good implementation of the electronic control probably gives that sense of great traction but it's just an illusion. I know that I will probably be flamed for this opinion but that's what I noted. |
What tyres were you running?
I have to say I'm the complete opposite, I was shocked by how much grip there was in the rwd M3 and at how well it puts those 500 horses down - in the dry at least. Very, very fast off the line and with lots of grip around the corners too.
Haven't driven the xdrive version yet but I can't see how it'd be better in the dry. Wet, on the other hand…
