Sometimes you just need to sit back and enjoy the finer things in life. Sometimes you have to push the new BMW 135i to the limits on an autocross track hosted by BMW Canada. I think BMW needs to steal Cadillac’s current tagline “When you turn your car on, does it return the favour?” Nothing like pushing the pedal to the floor and feeling the 300ft/lbs or torque for the 300hp twin turbo engine push you back into the drivers seat while the traction control system does everything it possibly can to keep the rear tires attached to the pavement. For me, just seeing the two perfectly parallel black tire marks was priceless. You don’t always need to do a workout to feel the utter satisfaction of a job well done as you throw a perfectly balance car into a high speed corner and as you exit the corner, drop it a gear and hammer the gas pedal to the floor, braking deep into the next corner. Pure adrenalin rush.
All I could say upon exiting the vehicle was, “WOW, I have found my next car!!!”
What a great morning, glad the rain held off.
