Quoted you because you said cars with double-wishbone suspension didn't sell in the same market segment as the M3. FYI the CTS-V is in the same price range as the M3 and is nowhere near either the new or the old M5's price.

Double-wishone = almost guaranteed good handling on a passenger car (vs SUV or truck). That is a fact.

Also the M6 does not have a real adjustable suspension setup. A proper adjustable setup allows you change caster/camber as well, not just damping/rebound. What the M6 has is an active setup at best, and I htink that's what BMW call it.
