BMC Roadmachine 01, how is it ?
I'm thinking about changing my current bike to BMC RM 01 five '23, there is one in my city in a good price and it just looks amazing (I love that black stealth look and angular shape) it's the same as this one

Mainly to have disc brakes (not so important) and bigger tires (maybe a bit more useful?) and to have a bike that can stay with me for years.
Currently I ride S-Works Tarmac SL6 rim brakes (weight is around 7kg I recon, dura-ace and ultegra components + 1280g roval CLX32 wheelset) - I like its sporty geometry and handling and of course lightness
I like climbs and I do a few gran fondos during a year (with >2-4km climbs), maybe i'll try some crit racing next year (my FTP can get to ~4W/kg), still, for fun, in +45y cat.
With a new bike it'll be almost impossible to match or even be close with my current bike weight :/ (I don't plan to spend 10k on a bike)
I guess RM 01 frameset will be ~400-450g heavier (I found some weights on internet for frames and forks) than my SL6 and disc brakes will add another 300-400g :/ (so 700-800g heavier in total, similar configuration - Ultegra)
I measured RM and I saw that if I lower stem (with only 5mm cap/spacer) I'll have similar setup as mine Tarmac SL6.
But how is the handling? anyone can compare? HTa is 1.5* slacker, but stem is 10mm longer (overall length in size 56 is the same).
Also I heard that ICS is a bit problematic? (not round steerer tube related?) and of course only BMC heavy stem (unless it's full carbon stem-handlebar integrated, which is very expensive (even comparing to Specialized or FSA etc.), but I can run ICS stem with any handlebar anyway.
Or should stay with Tarmac (and look for SL7 ) or Teammachine.
