Tracked My E63 (Pic)



I was up at BIR instructing at a joint BMW/Audi club event. This is a picture taken yesterday while taking a student for a ride. The car did well; the tires were the limiting factor of the car. It was nice to drive home from the track in complete comfort for once

Didnt "end" per say, but the fact he under-steered off into the gravel ( could have been a wall ) and then proceeds to make a chump out of himself by peeling out and loosing control.

I tend to find that the E63 handles a lot less than the M5. The M5 seems more confident at high speeds and corners as well.
