In my book, the car handles very good for stock, to the point where I dont know if I will do anything handling wise just because I dont think I'll reach the limits of it. Mine also has active steering which changes the ratio of the steering rack as the speed increases thus it always feels nice and tight lol.

That's good to hear. You're absolutely right about reaching the limits. I put so much money into the suspension on the Z, but I feel like its so much overkill because I never track the car like I had originally intended to before I bought it. And about equal to an E46 M3 you say? That's pretty impressive. I can't wait to get my hands on one to test out one of these days.

As fast as a C63?!?! A tune, intake, and downpipe alone on a 135i/335i is good for mid-11's @ 120+. And if you've seen Vishnu's video, able to pull Lambos on the highway. The N54 really is a marvel.
My brother has a stock automatic 535xi, and even though it weighs 19 times more than its smaller siblings it still pulls really nice!
