Would anyone that took a ride comment on the coil over suspension's ride quality versus a car we may know like an M3/M4?

I am trying to get a sense of how it would be on an M2 daily driver.

I put a Dinan suspension on an E60 M5 and did not regret it. It really helped dial out understeer.

Lucky guy. Were they raffling ride sessions?

M2 seems to be pretty stable in turns. Love that he drove a 6mt. I can feel that heel/toe coming in between shifts.

Don't think he needed to heel toe with the auto rev match feature

Seriously? All I hear is wind and tire noise not even the fake synthesized sound can be heard. Really underwhelming

I rode in it in person. It's a very capable car and sounds much better than the m4 at full tilt.
