I've never seen a racing car with a torque converted tiptronic....a bit of a fail. should have a sequential or dual clutch gearbox.....

He really wasn't even pushing it on the corners. Babying it even. The exits were slow. Just saying. Lots of potential there. Car seemed great. Fat driver man, not so much!

Not a huge fan of the automatic but if tuned right may work well
Is this for race teams only or could someone buy it as a DE car? |

This is a joke, not a racing car. It has a series engine and an automatic gearbox. It can work in american amateur racing, but not in the serious European championships. It's just marketing.

You can look down your nose at it all you want, but so far, it's looking like a pretty stellar deal for someone looking to go racing. The price is extremely cheap for a homologation car at €59,500.00. 1: http://www.bmw-motorsport.com/en/cars/bmw-m235ir.html

I really like the car but I think it needs to be mated with the new M3/4 motor. I just think to have a racing car you need a racing motor, and the N55 isn't a racing motor. Even the N54 is more of a racing motor and only because of the higher mid range power.
