According to BMW Blog, the G82 M4 as commonly spec'd will weigh around 4,000 lbs.
While aesthetics are subjective, there's near unanimous agreement that these cars are hideously ugly. And now, we learn how ungainly fat they are, too.
I'm of the opinion that large organizations, even global entities like BMW, are ultimately a projection of the leadership. It's impossible for the same team responsible for legends like the 3.0 CSi, E30 M3, E46 M3 could be in any way remotely connected to a monstrous appliance like the G-series. It would be fascinating to have a crystal ball and see how history judges these.
The sole connecting thread to BMW heritage seems to be the name and the badge. Really nothing interesting to see coming out of Munich...
