That the new M4 competition is ~4,000lb. That is inexcusable for a M car.
“The M4C is our halo car.”
“We have an answer to the 911. It’s the M4C”
These are things that have left the mouth of M division senior brass. I knew when M hired the former head of Quattro, 2 things would happen 1- bmw would get better awd systems. 2- the cars would get heavier. Both have happened. The M2 has (so far) kept the weight down (ish 3400-3500ish) but has failed to deliver on track.
There is a reason a base 911s can beat a ZL1 in a drag race: weight.
E36/46 weight: ~3200lb
E92/F80 weight: ~3500-3600lb
New M4: ~3900-4000lb
If I was the head of BMW, I would haul M division head into my office. “So let me get this straight. The F82 M4C lost around the racetrack to the Mustang GT pp2, the Camaro SS 1LE, and the 911S. And you added 4-500lbs of weight? You’re fired.”
Its ridiculous. And im offended.
