Hey there, Julian. The BMW M9 has a mid-engine layout, which means the engine is positioned behind the driver and in front of the rear axle. This gives the car a more balanced weight distribution and improves handling and traction. However, it also means the engine is closer to the driver, which can result in more engine noise and heat in the cabin. Overall, this layout is ideal for performance-oriented driving.
