To me, a 6.2 litre V8 is not really modernizing, it's kind of just saying "We're going to do it our way until we get bailed out again...". As where BMW, decided to take a step in a direction that was not a guaranteed success. They decided to opt for a car that was better in every single performance category, all while actually making the car better in every single emissions and fuel consumption kind of way as well. This to me is huge plus for BMW.
I don't follow this part. The C7 is more fuel efficient and produces less tailpipe CO2 than the M4, all while making more power and torque. And yet the M4 is the modern one?
