Reads like you had a fun but insightful day at M'brook.

Ref yr last sentence above, mods can detract from oem but factory setups are compromise - being as many things to as many customers as possible. TBH, yr instructors comment is subjective, w/o having a std car on the day to compare with.

One of the reasons I went with OEM c/overs as BMW gave you settings to work from for both road and circuit. Having driven my car long enough on same roads (and a couple of tracks) before and after suspension upgrade, the standard setup is left wanting compared OEM c/over no question.
