This is true for any powerful car.

Are you being serious? This is obviously why BMW appeals to so many people - all it seems is people want is some pussy sounding whoosh..

All these things describe a competant super GT. The idea of a "shot" suspension seems a little odd, there is really not much to "wear out" - even with 100,000 miles on them. Perhaps it was just softer than you expected based on all the crap about it being hard and unusable being written out there.

Hmm - sound more like street+ pads - race pads take a while to warm up and need heat to keep working

Again - seems like an odd response from a "sports car" enthusiast. And this from a stock 500bhp unit?
I am sure there is a wimpy chicks M3 out there with your name on it - leave this car for the next
man to come along and buy it
