that being said i run comfort on the track. seems to give me better control since Pacific Raceways is fairly rough and with it stiffer i unsettle the car more.

Considering the car is new, I think one poster already hit this thing on the head. It's probably the factory bumpstops for when these cars are delivered.
If you think the ride is harsh or too hard, you are not experience M3 settings...expecially not in comfort mode. |

As you said there are lots of variables to consider but bottom line I was able to turn faster times at road atlanta with 19's even with greater rotation mass. |

I believe they are Black Tars. Crack-Jars? Mack-Cars?

Went to the dealer yesterday and the salesperson said his first thought was that it could be the shipping blocks. Over came the technical guys who quickly dismissed that idea, insisting someone would have noticed when preparing the car for delivery. The technical manager then drove the car with me around town and remarked that it was "normal". Never mind extra panty cushion, this guy thought I needed huggies and a bib. He then checked tire pressures and informed me that the fronts had been inflated past recommended maximum, and this was the likely cause of vibration. He lowered all pressures to minimum. I remained dubious until I did my daily drive, which was much better. It's still not ideal, I may end up tinkering with things, but am much happier. Thanks to Ateam and others for your suggestions. The most irritating thing now is having to obey the speed limit.

BTW, let's try to keep this thread on topic. It's about the performance relationship between 18 and 19 inch tires now...or whatever it is everyone is arguing about.
