The ///M looks so much more poised. You need suspension upgrades

maybe not, maybe the M is apexing too early...hard to tell without seeing the track ahead.

Mostly because the M is not at near the hard turn that the 1er is at that point. The 1er is harder into the turn being farther out and the M is farther inside and not totally into the turn yet so he wouldnt be swaying quite as much.

And someone please convince me what to do with my suspension. I dont wanna revamp the whole thing, maybe just the M3 bushings and maybe springs..

None, but after a track day I want to upgrade the follwoing:
Brake pads and brake fluid. The brake pedal got soft after a bit.
Tires- Stock runflats arent' that great in the turns, I could feel the tail wanting to give out sometimes.
Suspension- I really want to upgrade the front suspension, the rear feels balanced but sometimes the front just can't take it. Probably m3 bushins and some m3 sways? or an e93 sway not sure yet...

m3 is taking the turn too early

///M definitely would be more poised, and yes I definitely want some suspension, tire and brake mods....and I think I need more track time too :P

which pad / fluid combo did you use? Is it difficult to replace the fluid?

I haven't upgraded yet, just decided I need to. What were you thinking? I was thinking cool carbon and ATE super blue but haven't done much research yet.

He definitely has the right line, that corner is a very late apex turn-in (I think it was right before the esses and the long left hander?).

Sweet pic Chester, that was an awesome track session. My pictures turned out pretty poor, the only notable one was me stuck behind the crazy driver in the S2000 and the smoking (literally) 300ZX.
