No, it's the same wheelbase as the E36, like ~108", if I remember correctly. If with the M44 318ti achieved 50/50, then with an extra 100-150lbs of an S50 (some past the front hubs), M3 front suspension &brakes, and a heavier radiator setup & electric fan (which is way at the front of the vehicle), I can see this mother easily being 60/40 F/R., no BS!!!

I plan on weighing it at my work sometime soon to get the actual C/B of it. There just isn't enough meat behind the rear axles. A full tank of fuel, and a 45lb weight strapped in might do the trick though!!!

I guess I will be going for a 235/45 all around then. I am not looking for a perfectly "neutral" handler, just not too much of either side-affect.

I understand that Autoxing is more driver skills than anything else and that a good driver can overcome alot of problems. I just want to go in there with somewhat of a "balanced" car.

So will the different wheel widths will play a role in the footprint?

Anyways, thanks for the advice, Matt.
