And adding electrification to this, too? No thank you. No one needs cars that are faster in a straight line than the current ones, joy of driving is something else (at least to me).
IMHO not only M5-6, but also M 2-3-4, sporty cars >1500kg is a little obese I would say.

The joy of dring BMW i.c. M`s is about "Freude am Fahren" that does mean IMHO good cornering ability, agility, power adjusted to proper weight. ( a leighter car does need less HP for same driving fun)

Now for even more heavy elecrical cars this is not good news, how powerfull the may be.

I`m vey anxious how BMW and M will solve this weight problem on future hybrid/electrical M cars.
