It’s a near 200K car that offers marginally better performance than 120K M5. No surprise it didn’t get stellar reviews.
They still would have had a hard time selling this even under perfect circumstances where CFRP driveshaft/body parts/DCT/latest hybrid technology are used yet the hardware is identical to the M5. That ZF gearbox is a major reason why the car feels like a slightly modified M850i, which every reviewer mentions.
Maybe the majority of customers nowadays are generous enough to buy a supposedly halo car that is hardly different from its base model.
