Single Turbo BMW 135i Track Day at Road America!

I was able to take my 135i to Road America, which has always been a dream of mine. I abused the car and had so much fun!

This was my first time doing anything like this and I didn't have an instructor so be easy on me

(Had some fun with an M4 at 11:38)

Wow, the power your car has in the straights! I know its a lot faster now but....
I ran Road America's last track day of the year 10/22, was a gorgeous fall day and was one of the thrills of my life. Had done a few track days at Blackhawk Farms, a much smaller, tighter track. RA is a whole different animal! Really wished I had a lot more hp on those long straights, but car handled well and had a great duel with a 370Z on my last time out.
Thanks for the vid!

I've been wanting to do Blackhawk as well! Pretty cool that another member has been on the track at RA recently.

Blackhawk is fun, but not many places to use all that power you have. Very much a handling, braking track. But a pretty good straight before and after the last turn (#9?), you would like that.
