The only way we can tell how much better is from the Nurburgring lap time. This way we can get a reference bench of how it stands vs the previous M5 and the top M4 variants.
Of course it won't show how much more consistent novice/amatuer drivers are as the difference could be 40% better but at peak professional level probably 10%.
Also, Nissan has this tech in the GTR for years so it shouldn't be new. Considering BMW licensed tons of it's technology from many companies (looking at all the copyright info in iDrive which is super lengthy), hopefully BMW adopted some technology from Nissan secretly otherwise the AWD racing system could half-assed to the point of failure like the Samsung 7 phones where they prob tried to copy proprietary and work around patents that Tesla or other competitors had results in them catching fire resulting in huge financial losses of which could have been averted had talks been made to do it right.
