Just completed my first autox in my 1M this past Sunday. Stock with 2 deg negative camber in the front.

Turn in and rotation was great. My biggest challenge was learning to handle the surge in torque from the twin turbo. NA is certainly more linear for low speed (2nd gear max) autox that I run locally.

I tried with Sport mode on and MDM and it was way too sensitive and twitchy. Switched to just MDM then traction control off. Much better. It will take a lot more seat time to get used to the car.

I'm on Michelin Pilot Sports (new) and certainly miss the RE71R I used to run. Everyone runs them at our my local autox now as they are cheap and plentiful at Costco (which is only a few minutes from the track). They are too soft for lapping days / HPDE unfortunately. Fun but they won't last.
