Why has Mercedes AMG been dominating F1 for the past 4 seasons while BMW’s M Division continues to sit on the sidelines?
BMW’s iconic Motorsport Division that produced the E28 M535i, E30 M3, M-Coupes, Z8, E39 M5, E46 M3, etc., simply doesn’t exist anymore. BMW has completely abandoned its Motorsport heritage by putting mass-produced, overly-boosted, standard BMW engines in their techno-gadget M-cars. This is the so-called “character” of today’s M-Cars, and it all signifies the end of a once great era for BMW’s Motorsport Division.

Rant notwithstanding, the F80 is BMW's best track car - stock - that I have experienced to date.
I understand the CSL, GTS etc might be better but out of the cars you can actually get your hands on, this is the best one so far.
And I agree with you they should get back in F1, and build a driver's car to rival the AMG GT S.
