Took the X3 out with the local BMW club to a track day yesterday. First time taking the X3 out and first time running on the track EVER. I surprised a lot of people including myself on how well the X3 did on the track. Some of the other vehicles racing on the track included a E36 (modded), Supercharged E46, E90 328xi touring, 2012 M5, 2009 M5, E71 X6M, Lambo LP540, Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 V6, a type R EK civic hatch with suspension mods and a few others.
The LP 540 was the fastest at 47 seconds, the M5 ran 48 or 49 seconds, the Genesis ran 55 seconds, and the Civic ran around 54 seconds.
The best time I ran was 51.4 seconds around the track. The X6M did considerably worse (over a minute). X6M owner thought I was stock but I was running JB3 (set up at 3.75PSI over stock) and he couldn't understand why my X3 was doing so well lol.
Needless to say, I've fallen that much MORE in love with my X3
. On to pics and the Video!!!
