I actually drove at an autocross a week ago... it was a high speed event, with FTD in the 86 second range.

Your posted time was great. That list of cars was notable for the lack of E30 M3s and the lone 740i, a rare bird at an autocross.

When I did an autocross a couple of months ago at Heartland Park in Topeka, I couldn't believe how much fun the 1M was in that environment. My instructor, a nationally ranked autocrosser, was absolutely impressed with the car, even with its bone stock suspension. We came very close to eclipsing the time of another nationally ranked guy in an E30 M3 with serious autocross chops.

What I lacked in finesse was nearly made up for in the jack rabbit acceleration out of the corners. MDM is great for autocrossing and the M button, once you get used to using it, contributes greatly to the fun.
