Hell, I had to chain up the iX to get it out of the alley here. Getting the M3 out is going to be fun.

Default thoughts on BEST STU tire for the E46 M3
Maybe one day theyll move the e36 M3 into DS/STX. If you look at the performance, power/weight, etc of cars in those classes ie. 330ci, WRX, ITR they seem a lot more comparable to that of e36 M3s.

Also, why are the e46 M3s not eligible for STU again?

the E46 M3 has been eligible for STU since 2009.

I did today. It works just fine with entirely unaggressive settings.

Mad wheel gap in the back now, though.

Yep, me!
Running them on 18x10 D-Force front spacer 10mm, rear space 12mm. Rear fender is rolled, -3.3 front, -2 rear camber and they fit perfect. One event and the grip seem better than the 275 Star Specs.
