As much as I like the 1-series, I would think long and hard about whether it is worth the effort to get it truly track worthy.

That Porsche you were thinking about might be a better choice to meet your goals.

Its not too late because you don't have much money committed yet ...

If you insist though, the cone filters breathing hot air and the JB4 are likely doing you no favours. Limp mode is likely coolant on an N54, not oil, but log data to be sure.

We all thought that the car would handle more neutrally. It takes some significant effort to fix that and rear subframe bushings are an essential part of that solution.

Really, unless you delight in modifying your car (many of us do) and have a realistic view of how much it will cost in money and time to get to the car to where you want to get it, seriously consider whether you have actually chosen the right car as a starting point.
