And read the book. You are just a dumbass otherwise.if you read bentley's book as recommended it will answer your question about static vs dynamic balance. i'll just re-type it here verbatim:speed secret #11 (page 51)Dynamic BalanceGetting back to balancing the car, there is also what i call "dynamic balacing" of the car. Very few cars have a perfect 50/50 weight distributionto begin with. Most purpose-built race cars are midengine with a weight distribution around 40 percent front and 60 percent rear, as this is close to ideal for a race car.Production-based front-wheel-drive cars are usually closer to 65 percent front and 35 percent rear. Only production-looking tube frame race cars (trans-Am, NASCAR, etc.) are close to 50/50 weight distribution.Realising this, a driver must compensate by controlling the weight transfer to balance the car into a neutral handling state (no understeer or oversteer). To do this the driver may have to control the weight transfer so that statically there would be more weight on the front or rear but dynamically the car is perfectly balanced.bla-bla-bla.....so the ideal weight dist to aim for is 50/50 DYNAMICALLY. maybe this is wat bmw means when they claim 50/50. And perhaps the closer to 50/50 when STATIC, the less you'll have to adjust or tune to achieve 50/50 DYNAMICALLY.  you guys are unbelievable. so many blind people leading even more blind people. I hope none of you ever get on the track. You people are dangerous.</blockquote>
