The Project BMW 135i STU made a trip down to Kansas City to the SCCA Midwest Divisional event last weekend. The event was held at the MCC Performance Driving School in Independence, MO. The courses were set up on a section of the mini road course at the site. The GotCone.com Project BMW 135i STU car finished 6th in the STU class.

Saturday was a frustrating day. I was forced to stand on my 2nd run as I was not able to improve on the last 2 runs of the day, leaving 3 of 4 of Saturday’s runs ended up being within a tenth of a second of each other. Sunday’s raws times were more on pace, but ended up not much better as I coned away my fastest 2 runs of the day and had to stand on my 1st run of the day. The courses switched from super grippy concrete to asphalt and really forced you to watch braking and acceleration zones even if the track got regular asphalt maintenance since there were many sharp turns to look out for. Looking for a bmw that you can afford with various budgets? You can try looking up used bmw cars on your searches.
