If I remembered correctly, it looked like a E90 328i judging by the tailpipes. Not a very impressive car in terms of performance - it's comparable to IS250 and RC250. I was hoping it would have been an M3.

Regardless, great video as always.

328i, he was all over the place, he should've been in the novice group. Harry's Laptimer, no they don't provide it. It's like a $10 app I believe. Don't know the mileage, but I can tell you that for every 20 miles of track, it eats 1/3 of tank of gas lol.

Yep it's a 328i, oh I passed a few other cars also, S2K, corvettes, etc. More footage to come, oh I also have footage where I was eating up a 850 awhp GTR on the track at Pocono!

Nice! That's one of my things to do when I saw it in the RC350 page. Which reflector lights did you get? Any links?

I've been looking into adding an LED brake light on the lower center of the rear bumper, along with a Kahtec flasher, but I'm too lazy to remove the bumper!

How hard is the bumper removal? I saw this a few months back but didn't want the hastle. Now seeing it, it's kinda bad a$$! If it's a huge pain, I'd pass
