Is his stock? A stock 135i is an understeering mess. RFT's, no limited slip, a really soft suspension and the relatively short wheelbase make for a sloppy car. Switching to the M3 control arms, stiffer shocks and non RFT's makes them much better, but a stock BRZ is more composed, even with the stock tires.
