Haha, I wish someone had a video of me actually racing the track... before my exhaust finally fell off.

It was my first auto-x and I had a lot of fun. Will definitely do it again.

Photo evidence of me being at Road America:

Hey look, I did turny curvy things:

Forgot to post some of these 1/2 mile pictures and videos.

I'll post my GoPro videos later.

I posted a new thread for this, but I figured I'd drop it in here as well.

Put the car on a DynoJet a few weeks ago! The best numbers were 448whp and 501wtq with SAE correction. It looks like all the N54 guys use STD correction instead and that converts to about 468whp and 523wtq!

Also, who doesn't like epic burnout pics and videos?!

Who are you? Didn't know you still cruised this sacred forum.

I'm very happy that I have this garage, but it sucks knowing I won't be able to hear turbo noises again until April.

Buying one for the 330ci right now!

[straight6pwr]

better buy two - put one in your underwear and make turbo butt sounds

[i_love_cars]

Welcome to my world. It's like a double-whammy because I know my 1er is nearby as my friend who bought it from me is storing it within 20 miles of my house. So not only do I not get to hear V8 noises from the M3, my 1er with turbo noises is just out of reach as well. 

I do not like winter. Not at all.
