I don't really understand this. My 440i is putting down similar power to the F80 and I have no issues. Even the S550 guys come with almost 500hp stock and seem to make do. The only difference I can tell is BMW is hell bent on squeezing 20" wheels and rubber band tires. Swap the rears on the G80 to at least 19s and let the proper tires do the work.
