The max cornering g is an anomaly during one instance in a lap. This is not the same as doing a skid pad test(sustained g). The telling figure for corner grip is minimum speed in turn 11. Cadillac was over 2mph faster. M4 xdrive gained it's time on the tight track with awd acceleration out of slow corners. This is how the R35 GTR use to do it(still does), no soul just quick.
R&T called the M4 a paper champ, which it is.
"On paper it’s a triumph. But much of the character from older M3s is still missing—the tactility, focus, and charisma. BMW can find its way back; the M2 CS is proof of that. But this fresh-from-the-womb M4 has room to improve."
