m3 x-drive vs..

Didn't know they were in the states, should be interesting to see what they can put down with mod's especially against the f90's ;-)

Probably about equal. So much more tuning and mods for the M3 and honestly, it seems like the S58 has more overhead before problems than the S63TU.

Curious about the weight difference. What does the AWD M3 weigh?

I'm guessing only a few hundred less than the f90

Odd, doesn't make sense especially on jb4 that m4 should pull on the stock m5 based what they run https://burgertuning.com/products/s5...-g8x-bmw-m3-m4
if this is the same m4 with jb4 (might be more mods?), the gt500's usually run 6's 60-130, and we all know the stock m5 isn't running that stock.

So weight difference is 5-10% which is not much.

The video you posted is a f82 on an e85 flash tune, the one I posted is a g82 on jb4 map2, completely different cars and mods.

That guy is running an aggressive jb4 map with race gas and unknown ethanol blend as he won’t reveal his “secrets”

But still the G8x is definitely impressive and sounds like the S58 engine is extremely stout with stock internals. Will probably consider the G8x LCI myself depending on the changes they make.

agree been watching the x3/x4m's over the pasting years, they are stout motors moving them very quickly. Believe the early ones could be tuned. Will be interesting to see what unfolds with these new m3's/m4's
