It's got an incredible amount of torque, an impressive amount of horsepower, revs all the way to a red line. 7:14 Brian Makse
543 horsepower turbocharger inline set 0:53 Extra Throttle House
this s58 engine is just a torque monster everywhere 12:03 Zygrene
Handlingsplit
The chassis is incredibly stiff. You'd be hard pressed to detect any casual shake or any flex from the chassis, even on rough roads. 16:30 Brian Makse
the chassis feels so stiff though it's so control 4:43 Extra Throttle House
you notice right away even with the steering in sport there's no feedback from the steering rack at all 20:37 Zygrene

Daily drivabilityconsensus
I would take this as a daily driver all day long it's so much more refined 17:46 Zygrene
ride quality is also superb, and this road surface is not great, and it doesn't upset this M4 at all. 13:50 Brian Makse
it's stiff enough that jostled her into sickness and and that's never happened in any other car that he's tested before 5:04 Extra Throttle House
Valuesplit
this is not just financially prudent in terms of reliability it actually holds value better than direct competitors and I would argue it kind of makes it the gold standard 10:10 MotoManTV
