I've driven my previous M3 (a E36 four door) on a LOT of different r-tyres and the 02's were great but one had to be careful to pick the right compound, what Dunlop called medium was closer to other brands soft, on the M3 you had to go to hard not to burn up the 02's. I haven't heard much about the 03's other than that they are very very good, but it's possible the compound issue is the same. Just a friendly tip.

But once you get just some heat in them they are truly superb!

Very true, they can be slipperier than an eel who is professor of slipperiness at Oxford University
