M3/M4 [Official] 2021 BMW M3 and M4 [G80 & G82]

Do you know if they test on a high grip surface? Those numbers are quite impressive for a rear drive circa 522 PS coupe in the 1.7-1.8 tonne bracket

Yes, the grippy surface of the Dekra oval + cold air temperature.

You reckon it looks better now ?

That single headlight does have something....

Tire pressure was probably low.

Tire pressure was probably low.

Timeless.

Timeless.

It's a solid entry in the pantheon of automotive meme-dom. I still think "Mustangs eating dirt" takes spot numero uno.

Wonder what drift rating the car gave to the driver.

On a scale of one to five? Tree-mendous.

The driver lost his mobile. Had to make a trunk call.

AutoBild Sportscars' Supertest of the M4 Competition is also out. On Cup 2 tyres they managed 3.6 and 11.4 seconds 0-100/200 kph. The engine produced 522 PS as measured and the car lapped the Sachsenring in 1:32.76, a second slower than M8 Competition.

Wow.
This is almost 2s quicker than the M4CS on Cup2! This insane! (M4CS time in 2018 was 1:34,63)
It is also only 0,4s shy of the 992 Carrera S time (1:32,36 in 2019)
Yes, the Carrera S was not on "official" semis, but on UUHP tires with N designation. Those are not far off semis!
This laptime is absolute remarkable.

From the various scans posted by @Soup today, thanks by the way, those photos in action are spectacular, it makes its intentions clear performance wise and visually it reminds me of the E30 and E46 when they were photographed at the limit, this new M4 echoes that feeling in me

Was over at M today. Testing of a further high performance M4 variant has begun.
Additional Aerodynamic aids but something entirely new, A new trunk with integrated spoiler.

I suppose you are talking about CS, it would be good to know something more about that, because if so, it is quite early and leaves the table served in terms of time to also present the so endearing CSL

According to the recent historical past the new CS could be around 450 hp and the CSL around 600 I hope

I think, you meant 550hp for the CS.
IMHO, an integrated trunklid spoiler is a strong hint towards CSL, not CS.
The last M3 with a trunk decklid spoiler integration was the E46 M3 CSL. CS models only had tapped on/glued CFK spoilers ...

I just did check the sportscars supertest of the M4 Competition.
Tested weight was 1695kg. Full tank and car equipped with track package.
The author mentioned (this was on point), that the whole blabla in the internet about the new generation M4 being up to 200kg heavier is absolute nonsense.
In fact the G82 is 60kg heavier than the predecessor. He compared a F82 Competition model with DCT and CCB with the G82 test car.
Is a plus of 60kg positive? Nope. But it is neglectable taking into account the advancements of the G82 over F82.
... and it is hilarious, when you see internet forum posters lamenting over 60kg in a 1600kg+ car, where on the same time they could most likely shred off 30kg from their fat asses and bellies, which have a much worse impact on the cars CoG, since they are positioned rather high in the car

1695kg for a M4 Comp ZF8 and full tank of fuel? We don’t give BMW enough credit they tried more than any other manufacturer building similar cars.

Exactly, I missed the key
