The E92 chassis has a wider track (5" wider if I recall) as well as wheelbase. Big advantage for the E92 chassis. The wider track makes the biggest difference. We have a widebody on our 135i so problem fixed =D.

You are correct in that the longer wheelbase is more stable at higher speeds. The ring is as high speed as it gets as far as tracks go so the E92 would be more stable. However, a shorter wheelbase can rotate better at lower speeds. Most tracks are not high speed tracks so overall, I'd rather take the shorter wheelbase. I'll also take the lower weight, even if it's a mere 200lbs.
