I did not yet have my performance brakes installed & I need some anti roll bar, my 1 series still has a lot of body roll despite being on lower Bilstein suspension. Personally I actually enjoyed the twisty Autobahn drive to the ring more than the track lap itself because on the Autobahn I was doing 200 to 250KPH for most of the drive hence my user name.

Please see this amazing footage:
Yes, that is amazing footage! That sounds like the scream of a supercharged engine, if I'm not mistaken.

My dream is to be on the Nürburgring or the Autobahn, but I can only dream of such things because I'm sad to admit that in my old(er) age I fear my mortality and am afraid of going that fast, though I love to watch it on video, and will live vicariously through individuals like you. Thank you!
