A little better than my old 3 with the Teins dialed to be pretty soft. Competent, but not super sporty. A good balance for a daily driver. I think the softer Highland setup with some aftermarket swaybars would be the ticket for someone looking for the best balance of ride and handling.
I drove a Highland Performance last week, and that was a totally different beast--but also rode surprisingly well compared to the older 3. Too bad I don't think the '24+ Performance suspension will be retrofit-able(?) onto an older car.
