The comments have ranged far and wide. Whether or not the thread is a waste is up to the individual reader.

Regardless, talking about road course performance with these heavy, well-appointed, cushy sedans is ludicrous. Yes, you can take them to open track events - people do so regularly - but they are far from sports cars.

As an aside, BMW events are run by anal people, overly afraid of denting themselves or their cars. But Audi events are far worse. It is astounding they ever get on the track with all the paperwork, presentations, testing and excessive rules.

They are both great road cars, but not high performance machinery. I have spent to much time on road courses and instructing to take the average BMW/Audi driver and his car seriously as track capable.

Enjoy your car.
