Just a little update on a Sunday drive.

I didn't realize how fast and squirrely this car really is. It's still stock with the crappy Pirelli P7 Centuratto grand touring all reasons rft. sigh...

Ok so I tried to hammer it on a qtr mile stretch , Sport plus of course, and the car is very fast BUT almost out of control. The short wheel base is something to get used to for sure. Tough to keep in a straight line but the road was not perfect so I am tramlining like hell. Car pulls pretty hard for stock.

Next turn made right and hammered it, tires squeeled a bit, got a little sideways but hung on. After I shit myself I backed off a little to keep control.

Since this is my first assessment after 24hrs of getting the car I need :

1) PS 4s for sure!
2) Needs to be lowered and reduce roll.

I need the ideal set up for #2. I may not track it but I need better control since I've had an E92 which handles like a dream with just Koni FSD's on it and NOT lowered. Prior 14 335i was lowered a bit so I felt in total control. This car however has me a little nervous with how light it is and so much stock power.

So with that assessment what should I get to tame this little beast??
