Autocross

has anyone done an autocross event in their X3 M40i? I participating in an event next week and just wanted to see what others have encountered.

Yes I know the X3 M40i isn't a track vehicle, just drop that annoying portion. There's a X5 35i also participating in the event and that vehicle is definitely not a track vehicle.

I also plan on data logging intake air temperatures on my intake system for the enclosed and open airbox versions.

What club is it with? I don't think they'd meet SCCA center of gravity vs track width requirements. Be careful.

It's with BMW Car Club of America Lone Star chapter. They have several X series vehicles listed, guess I'll find out the day of.

I've seen stock X3's autocross before.

Yes I did at the Poconos Raceway their road course section. My OEM Pirelli 19" we pretty much trashed after 30 minutes.
