BMW’s M Division used to make cars known for three qualities: rear-drive, high-revving naturally-aspirated motors, and slick manual transmissions. Now, things are a little different, as exemplified by the new M8 Comp. These days, M-Cars have turbos, all-wheel drive and lightning-quick dual-clutch transmissions. To see if the spirit remains, Randy Pobst takes this bruiser out on Willow Springs for a fast lap. #TireRackHotLap #MotorTrend #BMW
