Kinda sucks how many "car enthusiast" videos shows 0-60 worse then my non comp times all cause they can't figure out launch control.
This bogging better be fixed for the M3/M4 or people will complain forever. I drove the X3MC and X4MC at last year's M Track Days and the lag was very noticeable compared to the F82 you were given next to "drag race". Not everyone wants to turn on launch control in the real world.
I agree with what you are saying. When I drove the X3 M for the first time it was at M Track Days when we were doing drag races. It did seem to lag a bit. In everyday driving I don't notice it much. And then yesterday to get away from the house I went to pick up some beer at a local brewery and switched it up and drove the M3. While the power builds much faster it is rear wheel drive and grip is reduced. So for me they are different but I like them both.
