These issues could be because of that... so I'll reserve judgement till then.
I think that situation with bumps mid corner is when the F20 M Sport is at its best. The suspension is rather soft, so it is able to deal with bumps without going through the balance changes you get with stiffer setups. I have the most basic steering rack.
