I disagree to a point. M engineers designed suspension and chassis most time for compromise between comfort and luxury. Reasonable suspension drop with stiffer springs and anti sway bars significantly reduces body roll and better tire compound improves handling albeit with almost same comfort levels as stock done correctly.
Drive E60 with eibach, anti-sways and come back to tell me it is not night and day difference between stock. Sure some love the love look and feel of stock but for some of us that want that extra performance, i see nothing wrong so long as it is not slammed look and overboard. Of course E60 will not approach cornering Gs or even put in same track time as 458 or Z06 but then again, those cars cannot carry 5 passengers and log a family around on long trips either. To me, M has always been a car that performs several tasks and does it well not to perfection but does it well. That is enough for most of us.
