But yea inspiring confidence behind the wheel is something the E9X M3 is known for so thats interesting. We will just have to wait for more un-bias opinions.
I think you hit the nail on the head. More power = less forgiving, to a certain extend. I remember going from the e36 to the e46 M3. Never had an issue hanging the tail out on the e36M3, but lost it once early on with the e46 M3. I did tribute that a bit to the tires also. Always had Bridgestone Potenza's and Michelin's on the e36 and the e46 came with Continentals, which "let go" rather suddenly.
