Excellent post.

I have posted on this BMW myth of "ideal" weight distribution many times. However, I have never captured all of the points you did. One thing remains unclear to me though and it might be a subtlety beyond basic concepts of vehicle dynamics. Something around a 60-40 weight distribution is certainly ideal for a sports or racing car. There may be some elements of handling in addition to less snap oversteer that are improved by 50-50.
