If you ask me, what matters most on a flagship machine, more than electronics, is the chassis. If the frame's bones are good, everything from corner entry to exit feels clearer. A 3rd-generation M frame - speaking from experience on the ground, I'd bet the 'information density of the ride feel' changes before the lap time does.

A wider range of optional equipment is a quietly nice point, being able to pick fine details.

Is a new generation of the M-frame something a rider can actually feel the difference in?

A change in rigidity balance often clearly changes stability during direction changes or corner entry.

Rolling out little annual updates like this instead of, say, the Panigale or YZF-R1 approach feels very BMW.

The S1000RR getting updated together shows how fast BMW feeds tech back down to the lower model.

If the only real technical update is the frame, honestly it still feels like it's within minor-facelift territory.

Given how refined the 3rd-gen M-frame already is, even just revisiting the rigidity balance should have a real effect.
