The limit window is huge with a faster reaction time to inputs all around.
I'm still getting used to the differences and loving it! Easily controlled 4 wheel
slip with nimble lightness that make my E90 feel like a pig. The suspension is
key. Stock for stock I agree about what was said between e46 and E9x, but I
think the e46 chassis makes for much better track car with the right suspension
and setup. Then again I've never driven a fully prepped E9x race car, but from
what I've been told it's hard to get the weight down and I think size does
matter.
Look at how long it took for the E46 to get developed? I don't anyone has really scratched the surface with the E9X yet. Almost all of the E9X M3s I've seen on the track are street cars with bolt ons that some retailer said was better because it's aftermarket.
