Don't you have active steering lol

active steering changes the steering ratio on low speed/high speed...but the steering itself maintains a relative stiffness for stability....

its a relatively "lighter" than non-AS BMWs...but much heavier than jap civics per se....

hello

Robben@ltbmw · 08-02-2010, 01:48 AM

yeah.. i've always wondered why BMW's steering is so stiff compare to the rest of the manufactures out there.

not expensive at all -- completely worth it. regularly, one race (~8min) = $20. you'll get about 11 races in with 90 minutes which would cost you well over $100.

there's no way u can physically do 11 races straight....K1 will split you into groups...so you won't get 90 mins non-stop....

i believe they will also run regular walk-ins in between...
