For example, a 370Z can roll 18x10+ F/R with no issues, same with Corvettes, etc.
Aside from cooling, you really need a ton of other parts to really make the 1er track worthy. I have done them all and I love the car, but I agree it takes quite a bit more than just boosting the thing up to 400whp to make it a track performer.

I have and love my 1series. I will never sell the car. I recently got an e92 m3 but still enjoy the 1 series the more.
