Thank heavens the dealers actually put a picture of the tires in their listings:

First dealership:
Base X3M: Conti SportContact 6
Comp: Conti SportContact 6

Second dealership:
Base X3M: Conti SportContact 6
Comp: Michelin P4S (this was the drive that made me feel that the Comp had much better turn in than the base model). Maybe it was just the better tires . . .
i think not sir based on my limited experience.
i had michelin pilot sport 4 s in my car base suspension (335d) and the steering precision was good. I Then installed bilstein b8 shocks and the difference was incredible ie difference between a knife and a surgical scalpel both sharp but suspension being stiffer etc makes a huge difference.
