AFAIK, a car with a 52/48 weight bias that is 50 pounds lighter in the rear than a 50/50 weight bias that's 50 pounds heavier....the lighter car is still the superior performer in all respects.
I'm not a pro...so I guess my explanation is more of a personal preference. I'm under the assumption that the closer I keep it to stock weight distribution the less I'm going to screw up the handling from how BMW M intended it. Now...if I knew what I was doing with sway bars, corner balancing etc... maybe that wouldn't matter.
