Ther is more to benchmarking a BMW chassis than just lap times. And we haven't seen the M4 yet either.
M4 is going to be very lightweight.

It is also important to keep in mind that grip and handling are not the same thing. You can put a gutted and stiff Mitsubishi on 3XX mm Hoosiers and have more absolute grip than a lotus cup car on r compounds, but it isn't going to be a lotus cup car.
