    The fact there's an additional 230+ hp in that engine with "basic" upgrades is wild

    • @The_Stanman
      @The_Stanman Місяць тому +10

      Real world gain is only ~60hp, based on C&D's testing. It's about the same speed as M3 CS (543hp). Most of the gain is taking credit for BMW's underrating power (stock is ~600hp).
      1/4 mile is 10.6 @ 130mph (vs 10.7 @ 129mph for CS), which suggests ~660hp given 3900lbs. Acceleration matches the 5400lb 717hp G90 M5.
      I respect Dinan but this thing is definitely not adding 230hp.

    Great review Zach. Thoroughly enjoying your narratives in reviews as of late. I listened to the podcast with Steve Dinan when it first came out and have been looking forward to this review for awhile. A few questions: Did Steve Dinan say anything about modifying base G80/82 with the manual transmission, or do you have experience driving some yourself? I have a base G80 that I've really warmed to (minus the front-end design which I think I'm getting used to and weirdly think looks good when the car is in motion) and I want more 'feel and feedback' in the steering department than what we get from factory. Did you find more more feedback from the steering with these upgrades by chance? Does Dinan address steering feel and feedback more in private conversations? Thanks for your time and effort in producing and delivering great automotive journalism.

    Zack, it would really help if we didn't just talk about the purchase price when you get into the "how much it costs" segment. These modified cars depreciate and end up costing even more than a car costing much more upfront, e.g. over a 3-5 year period a Porsche 911 Carrera T will cost less as it barely depreciates. In a world where most people lease their cars, you should make mention of this.

    If I may suggest... the front facing camera (for the video) just put the camera on the top of the windshield (passenger side). Stop showing the dashboard at all. That view without RPM/Speed is useless, just looks silly with the blur, no need for that view IMO.
