This is only logical explanation, as I've double check; the M2 and M2C's suspensions pieces are mechanically the same.
Funny how something simple as alignment setting can change the overall outlook of a vehicle.

I hear you, but find it hard to believe. The ride is just much more smooth than the prior car. When I asked bmw NA, they told me the suspension was "tuned" and it was made "more relaxed". That's what they said. I tend to agree. No way a toe setting is going to impact ride quality. |
I was just throwing that out there based on what I just learned. I believe in High School they used to call that a hypothesis.
I don't doubt you guys that the sensation is different, especially since you actually had both cars, back to back but I'm just trying to find the logical reason why.
A vehicle is a bunch of parts slapped together to a steel frame, no voodoo magic trick involved, so if you really care, you can break its intricacies down to a science..
So we'll figure it out..
