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.
What are the alignment specs of both OGm2 and M2Comp?

I don't have the M2C detail alignment specs. Anyone who do, feel free to share it.

Just a review I was watching mentioned that the LCI M2 and M2C has different specs. He confirmed it when at a wheel shop, before getting an alignment.

I can't confirm this simply because I would never have a local shop set my alignment.

I heard that a proper BMW OEM alignment requires wheel weights, like physical bags of sand, to place on each seat, to simulate a sitting passenger.

Plus the machine for setting the targets is done by laser measurement. A mom and pops shop won't invest in those kind of equipment, which the dealer has.

Plus the EPS and alignment tricky to set right.

I don't believe the dealer will give you a copy of the OEM specs but a local shop might.
