The balance and weight really helps those cars a ton, which in turn helps them in transitions and braking. I gave strong consideration in getting one but, with 2 teenagers, I just couldn't afford the cost if it were to break......as they are also known to be a little more fragile.

Earlier this season at a TnT I had put 5 or 6 runs in my 15' SS 1LE that was fully set up for auto-x and then hopped into a bone stock M3, down to the tires (Michelin PSS's) and matched the Camaro's best time, they really are very good cars. But after I had my last BMW catch on fire on me at an autocross (335) I vowed to never buy another BMW again
