Rockape63 » ...and who wants to take their pride and joy on a track and risk damaging it?
Me for one. My car is insured for track use, admittedly with a 1k excess but most of the damage would be covered (and excess waiver policies don't cost that much).
Although it doesn't have a high top end (partially down to gearing) I can't/wont use mine anywhere near what it is capable on the road. It's just too risky for others. On track is a different matter however, finding and exceeding its (or in reality my) limits is great fun.
Oh go on then... One of these is in the family and I'm working on the owner to let me have a go! 😀

This is my bike / family bus after a trip to Dalby, the 0-60 time was done using launch control.
335d? Is it stock or chipped? 4.4s to 60 is impressive either way!
Stock 335d it replaced this and is quicker, torquier and twice as economical.... does not sound as good though!

Bloody hell - so are the numbers from BMW conservative then?! I thought they were 4.8 to 60... I'm going to have to time my 135i using launch control now! (Never even tried it before..)
Yes that was with my wife in the car an a full tank of dirty juice too!
...a hoot down the west coast singletrack of Scotland (To the car guys: if you've never been there, do!)
This. In any car, pretty much.
Not mine but coming back from France yesterday was: red LaFerrari, red dented Enzo, red stickered up F40, red 288 GTO, yellow soft top (from the ugly period), and another one that was too far away to see properly.
