Could also argue the engines there are on the periphery, or the sides, of the car.

Look at the performance parts from AC Schnitzer for the M3...not so subtle are they? Look at the aeros on the E92 M3 GTS and the F82 M4 GTS.

These days the M performance aero parts are more functional than ever so function over form for greater performance. In the E92 days or prior, M didn't have any real functional aero parts for the general public except for special edition cars with the GTS nomenclature
I can assure you that these new M performance parts have absolutely ZERO function. They don’t produce downforce. You will not see this mentioned anywhere in the official literature.

As evidenced by the fact that the upcoming CSL will have a different front spoiler, and a ducktail at the rear instead of this wing.


But you can believe anything you want of course, and by all means vote with your wallet.

Indeed.

I mean, there is a reason why I haven't switched from saying "hello"…to saying "fuck you"…when shaking someone's hand for the first time.
That's exactly how I feel BMW did the F8X owners planning to get the G8x when the camp was dropped. 😂🤣

Me too. Hoping they realized how bad they were on the M240 and at least make the internal lighting design different. The overall shape and placement seems to be the same though

Yep, BMW may be starting to plant these.

With all the performance parts, shame we aren't seeing any front/side shots.

I'm ready for BMW to announce both the weight and the S58's stock power in this car. I really hope it doesn't weigh too much and they don't go stingy on the output. We all know what this engine's capable of.

I like this exhaust though, for some reason it might look on the M2. It's a funky ride!

Agreed. Also evidenced by the F82 M4 DTM Championship Edition, which has the M Performance "flow through" rear wing and front M Performance lip. If it did make downforce or do anything, BMW would let us know in the press release…
