After successful negotiation on rates, the M is at the dealer getting new plugs, pads, filters etc., and I'm driving an F30 328
One interesting characteristic it has is being slightly tail happy in corners under trail braking, and (if you're really standing on it) under throttle. Which is pretty entertaining in a sort of micro-scale way.
But then I started wondering why the M is set up to understeer, and this occurred to me: Maybe it's because the understeer is so easy to defeat with the S65, that if the M was more balanced or had a rear bias we would be spinning off into the sunset a la old 911s? So it becomes balanced under aggressive driving, vs. more quickly moving to oversteer?
I dunno, not exactly a vehicle dynamics expert, was just curious what opinions others have.
Cheers
