Not all. Many of the sedans and coupes have an acceptable COG and corresponding polar moment, along with good weight distribution (near or at 50/50).

They will be sprung and damped softer than an M model, but at the limit they should behave quite well.

Stuff like this is why BMW's move to build ever more SUVs and front-wheel drive grocery getters is so unfortunate.

The "limits" on a lot of those cars are also WAY lower.

I drove aoaner 330i a few times, and all that stuff about polar moments and CG... Doesn't mean a damn thing. It was slow, rode like crap, and it's limits were super low. You can try to justify it but reality is anything below an M340i, theimita are a joke because nobody would drive them intending to get to those limits. Just the same way that nobody would push an X5 M50i like mine to the limits, you couldn't even reach the limits of a modern fast car on the street anyways, and nobody is actually tracking an SUV.
