Too right, these Youtubers and 'social media influencers' all want to be in the manufacturers good books so they can go on future test drives, simple as. I've hardly ever come across videos where they genuinely talk about the negatives.

I am a bit o corned with he front end that is so high off the ground. It does not look good.
Other part I suppose there will be many people out there making front retrofit for the car. Can't wait to see. |

Everyone is so worried about the exterior...
I'm pretty concerned that the interior is going to be bland as all hell based on some of these photos. The ridiculous amount of silver trim on the dash and such. Won't surprise me if they switch it up to black chrome like they did 2 years into the life cycle of the F8x. Need the reveal already! |

So no criticize on steering from C&D? Guess it's per usual the light hand approach to prototype, would be great if steering feedback is back

Friction could be referring to EPS steering boost and not necessarily that BMW is dialing out the ability to determine what the road is doing.

Mechanical friction in the steering system limits the amount of road feedback that is channeled to the steering wheel and requires added assist to lighten the effort. Removing mechanical friction from the steering system is a good thing.

But while the engine impresses, it’s the chassis that really moves the M3's game along. It’s described as being all new and largely bespoke, with only the pick-up points for the suspension, which will come as standard with adaptive damping, being shared with the standard 3 Series. In a now familiar move, BMW M has developed a new engine strut brace that serves to stiffen the entire front-end structure quite significantly. That provides the basis for even greater fluidity and handling poise than with the standard 3 Series and prototype versions of the 4 Series we've driven recently. At the same time, it has provided the new M3 with a much wider front track than at any time in the past. |

Well I hope you're right, but BMW has consistently engineered out steering feedback from their vehicles since 2010, they've even admitted it. I don't trust this M3/4 to be any different.
