m235 at buttonwillow today and pix

Crispen · 04-29-2014, 12:08 AM

I went to Buttonwillow to work on the setup for our race car and was able to do some 'recon' laps in the 235m.

I cannot believe how amazing this car is out of the box. I continue to be amazed at how it handles and this car has so much to offer. I am impressed with the deep technology, handling, performance, sounds, handling and so much more.

on the drive up to BW I put it in eco comfort mode and was impressed with the fuel saving abilities.

On the track, turning everything off, actually really turned everything off.

the car has amazing dampening and even on the bumpy BW track it was sublime.

Here are some pix:

Leave your car stock. Silver loses its premium appeal when you start modding it, especially with gloss black wheels. It won't look expensive anymore.

Nice review, thanks for posting. What did you think of the steering? I test drive one a few weeks ago and the steering felt pretty numb. I couldn't feel the road at all.
