Bruno's seen the light and "discovered" what others have known for a while. A lighter car performs better on the track than a heavier one.

If your gonna look for a dedicated track car, you might want to expand your search outside the BMW realm. There are alot very trackable cars out there that don't have a roundel on them and cost much less to buy and maintain. I don't know if the twin rotor turbo RX-7s (talk about power to weight ratio!) have scared the E30 on your track yet.

Well, I kicked ass at the track. The 535i is powerfull, fast and... heavy!

Yes, this bieutifull beast is heavy, and even with a lot of HP (turbo, supercharger...), it will still be heavy.

I am thinking about a 325i more and more... And the E36 is FAST and light.

Well, I could sell the E34 and buy an E36... Nannnn
I think I will stop the upgrades on the E34, even bring it back to original shape and get a E30 325i... that should do.

Mosport was great, the Headers really gave an advantage on the acceleration side.

'89 535i
