...and yet none of the magazines or those of us who have driven the actual car have complained about any lack of grip. My E90 had 205 tires all around and I could launch the shit out of it, so why would I want such a silly stagger? Huge rear wheels are heavier and they really aren't doing you many favors when it comes to handling.

I always prefer a square setup unless the car has a rearward weight balance (911, Aventador, etc.) or simply has too much power (Corvette) to get away with a square setup.
