The 1M is simply not a Nurburgring car. It's powerband, wheelbase and overall design make it a snappy little torque monster that excels on tighter tracks and quick directional changes. The M3 is longer and more stable and that's exactly what the ring is all about. They probably commented on the the suspension being less than ideal for the ring because of too much bump dampening causing the car to side step over bumps when loaded into a corner and the intrusive bump stops.

Oh, and the tire thing also!

Put the Cayman S, 1M and the RS3 on a tight, smooth and quick track and I will bet you that they end up bullying their bigger brothers.
