Yours? Color - Dark Matte Grey?
Only the fender/wheel gap at the front axle is ridiculous ... funny thing: With the G80 this gap is smaller! So for me the G82 needs the HAS kit from the performance parts to solve this SUV height and level out this cruel difference between front mega gap and rear gap.

I did closely follow all those discussions in the net about the CSL/Touring laptimes, Micha is discussing in the vid above posted by @WBarnes.
I don't know, what to think! The theory, that Jörg Weidinger is holding back on its CSL lap, while going all-in with the G81 makes no sense to me. Why should he? I think the reason some people feel that, when watching both vids, is because of the different driving style Jörg had to apply! With the xDrive Touring he doesn't need to be so fluent, but just could turn in more brutally and step on the throttle much earlier, while with the CSL he had to take more speed in the corner and was only on the throttle at corner exit, which looks less "brutal".

But still the delta of "only" 15s is imho unexpected ... with approx. 150kg lower weight, 40hp more, better aero and suspension setup and Cup2R over Cup2, where Michelin claims already a gain of 0,5s/km (but maybe this accounts only for Porsche GT cars?)

As said before the CSL time is too slow. Can’t understand how BMW can be happy with this and publish it…? It doesn’t make sense.

The M4 Comp and the M4 CSL look a whole lot better in darker colours, the matt carbon finish and sapphire black make a huge difference than the lighter colours. With the darker colours the huge grill, bumper and bonnet lines and bulges are more noticeable and look menacing.

That combo never gets old. One of the most alluring factory colours ever.

Useful but doesn't tell the full truth of how the cars feel to drive. Before I drove the RWD M4 G82, I expected it to feel heavy behind the wheel.

Stepping out of the car I look at it with disbelief that it doesn't feel less agile or nimble than my 1,450kg M140i.

The new front axle has done wonders for countering the impact of increased weight. Off course the M4 is not an Alpine A110 but it's playful and precise enough for the weight to be a non-issue.

The last column is telling; kg per PS.....it's getting better all the time in that respect, and that's why the cars keep feeling good despite more weight.

Pretty quick indeed. Would you get the competition with AWD and an automatic or a 6 speed manual and rear wheel drive? I would think the manual would be more engaging and less attractive in cold winter environments. The reviews aren't very encouraging regarding the manual.

This is my favorite new M car, until perhaps the new M2 comes out, it looks incredible from the rear.
