This is not a criticism, just want to figure this out.

the non-///m's have a lot more neg camber (front and rear) from the factory in comparison to the ///m cars to make up for the "passenger car" chassis/suspension. this allows them to carry more speed through corners relative to their speed and acceleration values.
basically, the dynamic suspension geometry and the power of the engine are considered when choosing the alignment of the wheels. if the ride is soft (and for the nit-pickers out there...yes, we all know there's nothing soft about a z4's ride) and the power is small, then dialing more aggressive alignment settings will give the car a sportier feel through the turns.
guaranteed... if the non-///m cars had the same alignment as the ///m cars, they would feel much slower and sloppier.
