Sizzling off the press, tomorrow the Automotive and Driver web site could have the complete article together with movies for the 2023 Lighting Lap.
Since I acquired my concern first, I can spill some particulars:
The M4 CSL ran a 2:47.5 time. It was the quickest BMW they examined, besting the M4 GTS and the M5 CS.
The highs: The automobile weighed 3613 lbs they usually imagine it makes much more than the marketed energy (what BMW would not proper?).
The lows had been the the numb steering and never having the ability to alter the carbon seat sufficient.
Issues to notice: That is one hero lap, so it is not like a 30 minute session. And the monitor has additionally been repaved and widened in some areas in 2014, so evaluating previous automobiles is just about irrelevant. It make sense solely evaluating the automobile to the automobiles examined in the identical occasion on the identical time. At 2:47.5, the automobile is freaking transferring.
Additionally some issues to notice: M240i xDrive did a 3:00.6 lap. i4 M50 did a 3:04.7 lap.
I am going to hyperlink to the article when it is obtainable tomorrow.
