When driving against E87 on tracks, the turn-in and cornering grip is actually pretty good on the F20, making it easy to keep up with the older sibling.

The tyre type has a lot of influence on steering response. I think you would prefer low profile 18" tyres.
I was eager to try a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4's (I'm using a set of Crossclimate's right now), but they aren't available for my rim size. For now, at least. That made me want to consider changing them to 17". Not sure if 18" would be a little too much. It might be a first step.
