While we were obsessed with lap times, they were obsessed with dyno figures.. but end of the day, what works for me, doesnt mean it works for them as well... so ive stopped laughing at them ;) to each his own. btw, if anyone here going to sepang on the 30th for trackday.. see ya there. i used to laugh as well together with my trackday buddies when we see expensive performance cars, with all the best parts, suspension, tyres..etc. etc. but do not go for trackdays, or even fast drives..etc..

But then again M-Sport kits are usually just cosmetics and over here at least, comes as a complete package. With this, I'm guessing it will allow for more customisation especially the, errrr, performance parts for Beemer owners that don't want/cant afford those purpose build M-cars, Where does this leave the M-Sport kits?
