M2C Stability
How stable is an M2C? Is it as stable in a straight line as an M3 at high speeds? Does the shorter chassis affect its stability, does the rear end wiggle in any way or feel like it wants to easily let go unless provoked?
In the 135 / 335 world, the 135 was just about one of the least stable cars that I have ever driven... any thoughts? |

Probably the most stable and hardcore modern BMW.

I've never driven an m3, but a shorter wheelbase does indeed make a car more eager to rotate, like a figure skater pulling in their limbs to do a triple axel.
But, uh the car is fine at highway speeds. How fast are you planning on going? I'd think the m3/m4 would be better at 130 mph corners and stuff where stability trumps all, but I don't think the M2 is unstable in the grand scheme of things. |

I've only had the car up to 140. but it seemed very stable and planted.
I'm looking forward to how it feels on coils with a little extra downforce. |

155ish on the autobahn yesterday and didn't even notice I hit the limiter until it just wouldn't accelerate anymore. It's the super buttoned up/stable. And when it comes to handling, just did the four Swiss pass loop today, yeah this car is solid.

My M2C feels more stable at speed than my e92 M3 did.

I was at Eastern Creek the other day and I’ve got to say the M2C is one of the best ever cars I have driven. Absolutely zero issues with stability and I am so glad I bought one!

No stability issues at higher speeds. The only time where things feel loose is during turns with generous application of throttle and stability control off. Even then, it’s all fairly predictable.

Even in efficient, you can make the car swing around. Quite entertaining.

BMW's rebound damping tuning leaves much to be desired.

In the states, where you will go close to that fast is on a track, which, are paved pretty damn well. But, sure. It's your opinion that it sucks, it's mine that it doesn't. Funny how opinions can be different huh? Doesn't mean I'm wrong.

I hit 80 mph on the pike and I thought that was bad ass (5am no traffic yesterday) I'm rethinking why I have a 400 hp bimmer here, a f150 to tackle potholes makes more sense Haven't heard tire squeal, never lost the rear end because I drive around the city it's not practical or safe to have that kind of fun in BOSTON |
