First time at the track in my 135i. I managed to get only 4 minute video as I didn't have enough memory . I also will be buying new mount it was hard to position the camera, this was the best I could manage. Conclusion, really impressed with the suspension on this car, It needs better and wider tires in the front while keeping the rear same or just a size bigger. Cars was understeering a lot more than I expected go figure I though it would oversteer in tight corners but it was hard to get it out of line even on wet during 3rd session. For next event I will have to upgrade to even better fluid and some better pads as I got some bad brake fade even with Super Blue brake fluid and stock pads. Also better/bigger oil cooler is necesarry as I was almost pushing 300 at the end of 5th session (25 minute sessions). Other than than no limp modes, and absolute blast at the track, will be doing this a lot more from now on. Anyway here is the video of first 4 minutes during 1st session, was still learning limits of tires and suspension.
