Yeah, I recall, and maybe I will listen better this time. I still don't think my standard suspension is extremely nervous and unpredictable, but you got a point. It would definitely be easier to drift a car with a harder suspension like you have in your 1M and Z3M. The 1M is also less rear-weight-biased compared to the Z4.

Still, it is not like you can't find videos of 1Ms performing unintended tank slappers... So I shall choose to focus on improving my driving skills, even if I play in hard-mode compared to a 1M. Installing a significantly harder suspension would make the car unsuitable for daily use here. If you ask me, the Z4 is perfectly calibrated for sporty driving on the bumpy Chinese city and mountain roads.

BTW Z4s equipped with the adaptive suspension give you comfort dampers when you select DSC=OFF.
