Here are some more recent videos, mostly from Driving Events held by the BMWACA of Portland and the Puget Sound chapter of BMWCCA at the Portland International Raceway. They highlight some of the learning and fun had by all attending.

I had made some changes to the tires and suspension before this event and I wasn't really ready for the resultant changes in handling, as can be seen in the video below

I wasn't the only one experiencing problems with turn 6. This Dinan equipped E36 M3 couldn't take the pressure of an M Coupe behind it!
