Reading this forum for several months, I almost never hear G80/82 owners complain about a lack of low end. I realize there's a weight difference, but wondering about an engine/tuning difference with the F97 as well.

Do you feel that the G80/82 lacks low end torque?
I had a g80 and now a g83 and yes anything less than a sport plus on d3/s3 is like driving a 330ish on a normal day. It feels slow and its noticeable. I actually bought a m5 when g80 was introduced and I had an opportunity to test drive and then had to come back to it after being told you have to full throttle it to get that full power near red line… and then I was ok.
