Understeer vs Oversteer

Based on individual opinions what do you guys experience at the most on the Z4 MC with OEM setup??

What did you do to correct or adapt to your way of driving??

What was your goal?Street or Track? % if both.

These cars are known for understeer. More negative camber in the front mostly addresses this.

Understeer factory. As noted more front camber and the car is very nuetral. You can do this by simply shimming the two bottom strut bolts to get the needed -2.5 camber.
