Hooked after 1st time...
I finally got out to the track with my 128 this past week. A beautiful day at NJMP Lightning course. After spending a load of money on brake and suspension mods over the last year and a half I was eager to see what the outcome would be. Pure bliss. I love the way my car handles and am excited to get out there again. The entire day was a great experience. Everyone there seemed cool and was willing to talk and offer their experience with the track. Most of the instructors were BMW club instructors or PCA instructors. I was very surprised at the feel of balance that my car has and happy to see that it can perform way beyond my ability as of yet. I think it will be many track days before I start to think I need a more powerful car. Thanks for all the motivation on the forum to get it out there.

I remember that feeling of love at first site. Still hasn't left my veins as every chance I get I am on the Nurburgring.
And you are right, our cars are very well balanced. Agile, i would say. |
