You need more front camber, a lot more. Pull the alignment pins, install dinan camber plates. You want something closer to -2.5 at least.

I own both a nc miata and a 328i. Not a fair comparison, but my nc has a 2.5 swap with cams and I am looking to rebuild it with high cr pistons in the coming months. There is no doubt the miata is faster than my own bmw. Its almost 900lb lighter and puts out about 190whp.

I still like the power delivery much better on my n52 and the high speed stability, but the braking and handling is literally two worlds apart. That being said, that's why one is going to become a daily and one being a dedicated track toy.
