Yes I am taking this information from another thread but it shows you that the car is very capable although it is dependent on the driver.

Also, as mentioned I said cars. It is pretty silly to see nice handling cars like, S2000's, STi's, EVO's, M3's, etc., sitting on stretched tires barely driveable. Just my opinion and that does not make it right!lol!

I also agree that VMR wheels are not the end all be all!!

The heavy engine up front, on such a small plat form creates a ton of understeer. A stock 135i is far from a track car. Anyways he drives his car to work waaay more than he's putting it on a track so who cares? We are in Florida, the roads are long, straight, and flat a little stretch is ok..... I just hate when people flame other people for pushing the boundaries of modding our car.
