Maybe BMW can fix all that with the iM3?????

As an i5 m60 owner I agree, it's a monster in a straight line but I'd rather take my old m340 on a track, but then I dont think it was ever designed to live on a track even if it is an "m lite" .
You only have to look at Hyundai with a Ionic 5n to see how to do it with an EV though.

Saying that according to the AI translation the M5 only has 72bhp so EVs do rule!
