Brotherhef ,
My F30 had regular suspension & had manual transmission, but only had a top speed of 129.

When I had to brake strongly, particularly coming off the straights, I realized that I needed track brake pads -- it might be the weighted theft that Iwas able to carry more speed; also, I didn't use the paddles, rather just automatic sport shift, which was very smooth, using 3rd to 5th gears & spooling engine down as I came upon several of the turn complexes. Honestly, I couldn't feel the weight difference, but as I said previously, the car handled very well -- compared to the F30, negligible body lean on turns
