The Lamborghini SUV went up on 3 wheels several times on basically a flat track. I'm not buying into their "best handling" line up.

That's actually not necessarily a bad thing but a characteristic depending on a few suspension factors. Fiesta and Focus ST's will pull the inside rear tire during hard cornering and some extremely high HP cars will pull the front inside tire exiting corners.

My M2C has done it as well. It was on steep hairpin turns on the Stelvio Pass in Italy. On a track at high speeds I wouldn't think that it would be an optimal handling characteristic. SUVs have a reputation of flipping over, if it lifts a back wheel on a flat track what will it do on steep mountain roads? Even if you buy into the three wheel corners is normal and OK,That is a very strange lineup to be the "best handling" cars. Take those same cars on a windy road in the alps and watch what happens to the comparison.

Exactly, stiffness of the chassis:

Alfa GTA was famous for it...

"On rare occasions, I will scramble out of a car and straight to a manufacturer's website configurator. By rare, I mean I've done it twice. The first was for the Shelby GT350, and the second for this BMW. The M2 Competition is hands-down the best BMW I've ever driven."

For this amazing coupe I'm going to borrow a quote from a fellow auto-enthusiast: "I love driving it. It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up." — Ferris Bueller

Smile Winter Driving/ overall impression

Just picked up my M2 comp , wow what a car! I have had several BMW's over the years and the only thing that comes close is my old E46 M3. This car is very good in the winter on ice and snow, the traction control is excellent even with Michelin performance winters. The size is perfect, weight distribution is spot on, couldn't be happier with my purchase.

It's the most fun and predictable car we've ever reviewed, with an all-star chassis.
