VOLUME ISSUE JULY , P117
exhaust noise, makes the inline-
four almost sound like a big-block
V8 as you start seeing the digital
tacho heading into the five-digit rev
range. It is a mechanical symphony
you and your right wrist conduct.
As acceleration increases,
so too does the downforce, and
BMW has paid close attention
to increasing it in 2025. New for
this year are the revised plastic
front fairing and 3.0 side winglets
that deliver oodles of high-speed
stability (although, at Cremona,
we had use of the carbon-fiber
fairings as part of the optional M
Competition Package that also
comes with carbon-fiber wheels,
an anodized swingarm, passenger
kit, and GPS lap trigger).
