The center of gravity in our car is also a bit high (around 20in per my estimate). Although the M3 is still the best "sport" sedan by a long shot, a quick drive in a properly sporty car (c7, 1LE SS, 981, 991 etc.) quickly reveals the relatively pedestrian nature of our car.
In other words, if you're hoping for no compromise sports car like thrill from the CS, you will be disappointed. It will still be a wobbly sport sedan at the end of the day. If you don't believe me, just test drive any of the cars I mentioned and you will be a believer.

Dampers do not impact how much a car ultimately rolls when cornering but rather impact how fast it rolls.
I agree with your point though. An M3/4 will never be a “pure” sports car, it never was intended to be. For me, the M3/4 are all about balancing daily practicality, reasonable luxury and track ability. Not many cars offer an as well rounded package in that respect in the market. It is one of the main reasons I never really got what the M4 GTS is about.
