With my 525iA I wouldn't not bother, with a K1 I would like to try.

I hope I'm not stupid enough to buy the new K1200S...

I do not need it, not need it, nor do I need it...

Anyone notice that the Ring Taxi does not have NAV, I guess Sabine knows her way around the ring.

One day, I'm planning to do it in my Caterham 7 but until then I think I'll stay away I think I'd avoid it in my e60 anyway - even with sports suspension it's likely to feel like a barge on the track (especially when compared to the 7)!!!

I am told though, that if you're planning to go, spend some time trying to learn the "sections" on a Playstation - learning every bend in advance would be impossible but breaking the track down into a number of familiar tracks would be beneficial.

Best 14 miles I've ever driven on.

If you can drive within your limits, then do it. If you can't, then stay away. Or take something you can afford to bend.

Did it last year in my Modified RS6, went across with a Z350, Audi RS4, Audi S4, Jaguar XKR & Porsche GT3 Cup Car. Had the time of my life, but kinda glad it was $hitty weather for most of the 3 days, as it kept my speed down to a sensible level, although still managed a Bridge to Gantry in just over 9 seconds.

Would love to go again, although not sure i'd want to take the Bimmer, reason for getting out of the insane RS6 was to avoid track days & save some money for other things for the time being.
