[enigma]

Worry not. Some of us, like me, have a very impersonal and confrontation style to discussion. I am open to debate, just bring valid backing for any points you are making.

I have some catching up to do. I only managed ~6k miles on the Elise so far. I had far less than that on the M3.

I can tell you from personal experience you will never be happy with a combined daily driver and track car IF you are pushing on the track or don't like lots of "whats wrong with your car?" questions from your date.

The other thing to keep in mind when it comes to a compromise setup. Don't skimp on the shocks. They more than any other component of the suspension determine the ride quality of the car.

Now if BMW would simply include an M version of ARS then much of this debate would become acidemic. You would simply want to fix the camber and call it done for anything short of a track only car. ARS more than any other BMW development hold the potential to make a car that can be both comfortable on the street and yet still perform when required.
