Taking my E90 328i to The SCCA Starting Line

JingChai · 08-04-2015, 01:15 PM

I saw an ad on Facebook for a professional driving event and I jumped right on it.

I'm taking my 2011 328i 6MT so it should be a fun day out there! I can experience the car as "The Ultimate Driving Machine"

I was going to take my 1970 MG Midget but realized that there was 2 major issues:
1. Don't trust the condition of my current transmission to do the kind of driving at the event.
2. Instructor might not fit comfortably in the car.

Let's see how you do, I'm rooting for you.

Thanks, I'm excited as this will be my first event of this kind. I saw an ad two years ago about a driving school but I didn't have the car that I could enjoy at the time.

RWD, 6MT, can't get much better than that!

You might think about a cdv delete if you haven't already
done that , for better clutch feel.
