The drive/ride was different that I imagined. I drove this and then drove a comp version right after.
With all settings set the same between the two, this may have been my brain playing tricks on me, but I felt the throttle response, steering input, I know steering is no different between the two, and of course sound was much more lively and connected in the Comp version. The base version felt very much like driving the M50. Suspension felt the same but trackability of steering inputs to where the car goes was much more precise in the comp version. Very possible partial cause was the base had Pirellis and the comp had Michelins. I drove a previous version Comp car with Pirellis and too was underwhelmed. I cant explain it. I previously come from 2 each prior E70 M's and two F85 M's overall this version/platform is more driver disconnected than both previous versions. Maybe my F90 has spoiled me but not as overly impressed as I hoped to be, though the comp was much closer to my expectations. I ordered this car originally in February and with the delays was just delivered but after driving I passed on it and ordered a '21 Comp version. Just can't decide between which wheel set to select and pray for Michelins. Last edited by mswaz; 07-20-2020 at 05:08 PM.. |

Now you got me curious to see how the Michelins would feel. I feels like all of the reports of the car riding very stiff were equipped with the Pirellis including mine.

The difference being that base you can opt for a 20" square setup verses the 21/22 staggered setup as an option on the base and standard on the comp. I am coming to the conclusion that it has a lot to do with tires. |

I have ordered standard M with 21/22" wheels but expected that it would be much softer on street lines/repairs etc because of "negative" reviewes on comp comfort 🤔 but if there is rly no difference... 🤷🏻 |
