Civic needs to be tested yet, no info available. But I bet it's way worse than expected. I'll keep you informed

This.
In the tests there was a (BMW claimed) 7:52 in it but that laptime was way too close to M3/4 territory, 7:58 is a reasonable 'easily reproducable' time on a dry and empty Nordschleife (by a good semi pro driver) according to BMW.
Hence Gebhard doing 8:01 on partially moist asphalt.
The M2's rear suspension is pretty hard, but softened it would give more traction and this would also benefit the laptime by a few seconds. But on a normal(not floaty like the NS) track, M2's chassis incl LSD is stock already 'the best you can get' (brakepads aside) vs the competition.
