Really shows the body roll on a stock 135i. The 1 series has mixed it up on track with Porsches...now it's in there with Formula BMW haha!

But those Formula BMW is only 1100cc and 140hp.

True enough though a Formula BMW weighs just over 1,000 lbs. Our little body-rolling stock car does pretty well, I think. It's just a road car, not a racer, I'm pretty happy with the thing.

That little body roll is what keeps a beginner like me to tell the limit of the car before it steps out.

The Formula BMW would easily be faster than the 135i on track. The 135i was driving as a safety car anyway; formula bmw was not even trying when he was behind it.

Nice recovery from a 180 at about the 3/4 mark...
