That being said I still feel a significant difference in handling and feel compared to my G20. Something as simple as a sharp turn in the G20, it's VERY easy to understeer as I feel the car is under-tired. The G80 on the other hand is remarkably composes in comparison.

I respectfully disagree. I understand there is a law of diminishing returns, but the jump from an f30 340i to g20 m340i was a massive leap. The mid trim bmw was at 300-320 hp since about 2007-2019, and exhaust sounded like any other car on the road. I understand it's a progression of technology with everything becoming better, faster - however I believe more was put into this car to make it more "m" like than previous models. The g20 sounds like absolute gunshots on downshifts and feels much quicker than the claimed 384hp.
Still, we can both agree it is not an M car, and no where near g8x M performance. I needed a daily, as a rwd M4 comp in the snow can not hold up well. I just wanted to make a post about how it deserves to be an M "Lite" and absolutely love the car.
