Of course. The car is being driven on a track. Zero to do with its weight.

Sound on for what?

All else equal the heavier the car the more work there is for the brakes.

You mean you resent that remark?

I think he meant to say “resent” given it was followed by the F bomb 😂.

Behaves more like an Audi than an M. Looks heavy, wobbly and tyres screaming from understeer - expect all of that to be dialled out by the M engineers.

If you just want to cry about it, go somewhere else so the rest of us can enjoy life without you bitching about it.

If you’re the future, we’re doomed.

That would be a recipe for BBQ Pork.

The fact is “not all else is equal”. So, the point being made in this thread is not compelling. Just ignorant.

Brakes get red hot. It used to be a cool sight. Now ignorance is being perpetuated by repeating something untrue and irrelevant.

Also, G80s are heavier than E90s.

You can really see the tires and suspension struggling with the weight of the car.

Would you care to explain how exactly is his point ignorant? The person above your post also commented on the weight being a factor as well.

We all watched the same video and saw the chassis going through the motions and how it responded through the apexes so I believe this isn’t a case of ignorance.

Sure. If you remember, I said glowing brakes have nothing to do with weight.

People have jumped here to say “look at how heavy it is, the rotors are red”. That’s got nothing to do with it. They’re red because they’re hot. The car is on a track. They will get hot.

The fact you said “people above him said the same” is my point. A lie being repeated creates more ignorance.

As to your point of the car swaying, that’s beside the point.

F90 will be rare soon

PHEVs are compliance vehicles because the vast majority of buyers aren’t buying EVs anytime soon.

More gaslighting. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Feel free to substitute “red” for “hot” in this discussion. The brakes are red/hot because the car is so heavy in relation to the braking system’s capabilities that the brakes appear to be reaching their thermal capacity. It’s not like every car on the ‘ring has glowing red brakes. It’s notable here; that’s why people are commenting on it.

It would be fair to suggest this M5’s brakes maybe should be larger for this car on this track. Perhaps we’ll see that in a CS if it ever happens.

You’re incorrect, and your use of the word “gaslighting” shows me you’re ignorant in more areas than automotive.

Besides, “red”, “hot”, “glowing” are all used interchangeably here to denote the same thing.

I ready for the damn reveal already lol. I plan to keep my F90. Only thing that could turn my head is if the wagon ends up being insane.

[FrozenGT]

Not to hurt anyone’s feelings, but I would not finance this car unless you just got a lot of money laying around this is definitely an M car you would want to lease.


Only cars worth buying and keeping are the CS/ F generation and the E9X M3 generation so forth. Skip this stupid generation of hybrid technology, and just wait for new class.

[usmabmass]

threads like these are a great reminder of how some people are so obnoxiously wrapped up in mixing BMWs with their own image of self-importance that they just bicker constantly with other BMW drivers over the dumbest stuff

[Scott_56]

BMW are coming up with so many great ideas 👍👍🫡

[beachBmmr]

Looks heavy… and Ow my brakes!
