Z4 and 135i at VIR

Thought you guys would enjoy. Was at VIR a little while back and got to run with a 135i in my HPDE group. Talked to the owner afterwards and mentioned he had an AA exhaust & fmic but still on the stock tune. He mentioned he frequents 1addicts as well so if you see this, hit me up! Car was unbelievably fast in the straights.

Think this was intermediate group. There was a lot of traffic that day, whenever he passed one car, I was stuck behind that car for a while before I could catch up. On the straights I have no chance, he pulled like I just sat there but I managed to keep up in the turns/braking for most of the day.

Yep, that was one of my first vids hence the not so great quality. That was GoPro suction mount on the windshield. If you click on my link you'll see better quality videos. One of them also was recorded using a ContourHD but I prefer the GP.
