of an autocross car. Most important is the driver. Next is the tires and shocks. Horsepower is actually pretty far down the list. Sounds like a good time was had by all. Wish I could have been there!
#1 528e at 53.33 seconds (1 DNF, multiple cone kills over several runs)
#2 Me at 53.86 seconds (no DNFs or cone kills)
#3 Other 535i at 56.60 seconds (1 DNF, a few cone kills over several runs)
Moral of the story: don't discount a 528e!
