Although the smaller 3 is gonna be more tossable by simple physics, the G30 M550iX is different than your F10 model. While not a autocross car, it can handle most US highway curves and the engine more than makes up for its weight. This engine, especially when easily tuned to just under 600HP, can handle the weight.
