Seems to be a polarizing car on the forums

What I still don't understand...

1) Under-tired, 285 in the rear with 600 hp - maybe this is due to AWD now and less traction issues

2) Single piston rear brakes with ceramics - why does BMW continue to do this when the F8X cars have 2 pistons? The calipers look weak imo

3) Is this really a new engine? The were making F10 M5s with 600hp weren't they? Is it really just a little lighter and adding AWD that makes this car new? Oh, and the body shell i guess

4) Matte red?


Things I like:

1) 3.2 0-60. Let's face it, most of these cars won't see serious track time so being able to accelerate in real life driving is FUN

2) Adjustable AWD - better than AWD all the time

3) Seats look comfortable (although they are really not "bucket seats as the ad suggests") and I like the red M1/M2 buttons, makes it less monochrome inside

1/4 mile time?
US Price?
Exhaust note?
