2008 135i  [10.00]
To all that did not go or did go and did not do the driving school.....shame on you! It is definitely an eye-opening, satisfying, and just plain FUN to do a HPDS at a REAL track. It was simply amazing.

m3bs was my instructor and was a great pleasure to work with! Took me for a ride in his '95 M3....lets just say my 135i is NOT fast around the track after riding in his track ready beast. It was an aural and visual symphony. The roar of the wind thru the window, the sound of the engine, the sound of the brakes scraping speed faster than you could blink. Hitting turn 10a (dropping from 120-130mph to 40?-50mph in the space of 2seconds) and then hitting the blind turn 12 into a 4 story drop while upshifting carrying on to the front straight-away.....WHEW! Needless to say I wish to the heavens I had signed up for 2 or 3 days instead of just today. Sigh....

p.s. Got pics will upload this weekend.
p.s.s. I second tkbrown on the tires thing.....they gripped waaaay better than I ever expected...still have a bit of body roll though...
