I think you could find pictures of most any car with lots of body roll at the track. I wouldn't be too concerned if it were me... for a car balanced between the track and street, the M3 has very controlled body roll IMO. Not GT3 body roll, but very good for what it is.

I'm happy with the performance, don't get me wrong. Couple people had a ride in passenger seat and all of them said that the car is amazing smooth, balanced and refined. Which I agree..
The body roll is not this obvious inside the car.

OP is right. Forget those silly laws of physics. Road-going sports car should have zero body roll under any condition.

Well probably not I bet the F430 was going MUCH faster and corner at a higher turn in angle but who knows... let's pretend the M3>F430 for now

Plus, that's not just an F430 - that's an F430 Challenge. If the M3 is flatter around the bends than a Challenge F-car, it must be the greatest bargain in history!

Slap some low profile all-seasons on there and you'll get almost zero body roll.

That's not even sloppy body roll. Looks ok to me. Still not sure if this thread is serious
