It has settled in and is working well for me, I have no regrets. I am still trying to find out what the final camber and toe settings were. I keep forgetting to ask the S/A when I am there. I don't want to change anything, but it will be good to know because I like it so far.

Autobahn south track. Car handled as good as I could wish for, even the couple sessions that I had the learning instructor in the back. The brakes did start to fade on the last session of each day. On the way home after day one it felt like I only had 60% peddle and they just now a month later are starting to feel back to normal with the deposits finally scrubbed off the rotors.....the drilled holes were 50% full with brake shavings after each day.

when? was there all weekend. Going back june 6. hope to see you out there one of these days. Gotta love the sedan at the track

It was a windy city BMW event, 5/1 was the second day. They are going to Putnam next. I may go to that one but not looking forward to the 4 hour drive there. 3 hours to Gingerman or even 3 1/2 to Gratten would be better. Would love to get the car on Gingerman, but as much fun as Gratten is on a bike it is to undulated for a heavy car like a close to stock M3.

I got to do the full track at autobahn without an instructor and I still feel the same way. The suspension works well with my driving style. It has great feedback and is very balanced. Even if you are loaded up and lift a little it quickly warns you to remind you your an idiot and gives you a chance to smoothly get back on it. It still has understeer with the staggered setup but I like it that way and I bet it would improve even more with a square setup.
