BMW 330i Clubsport on the RING

[az3579]

You can. On different tracks of course. Not far from you are a bunch of good tracks that have annual events where you can drive fast. Mid-Ohio, Road America, Road Atlanta, VIR, etc.

To respond to this...

I've been on Mid Ohio & Nelson Ledges and talked to friends that have been on other tracks but, I don't think any in the US can compare to Nürburgring.

The Nürburg-Ring, a 14 mile twisty devil of a race track. It has 142 corners!

# Nürburgring is a race track
# Nürburgring is a public toll road
# Nürburgring is a testing center for new cars
# Nürburgring is a strip of asphalt where you can drive a 13 mile lap in your car at racing speed for a mere 15 Euros, $20.00 USD.
# Jackie Stewart called the Nürburgring "The Green Hell.

A one day intensive driving course will cost a mere 130-170 Euros, $175-$228 USD depending on the day and the season.

^^ I wanted to say THAT.
NOTHING compares to the ring.

What pisses me off is that a driver's school at the ring would be a lot cheaper than a driving school at my local race track, which is mega short, by the way. To add insult to injury, we only get about 80 minutes of track time at LRP, mainly because of the Lime Rock club hogging the rest of our time there.

While the courses I mentioned might not be as long or as cheap, there really isn't any other options unless you want to move over to Europe or build your own private track.

All of those tracks I mentioned are stellar, world-class road courses; guaranteed to put a smile on your face. That's what matters.

Damn, looks like fun.
Was the Clubsport package ever available on a sedan?

Dang... the only way that could have been better is if you were a naked supermodel. AWSUME. thanks for posting!

Yes, an option on both 4-door and 2-door.

Some of the reasons I chose this particular video:

I thought it was great to be able to see the road as well as the Tachometer, Speedometer and shifter, must say the DSC light definitely gives an incite as to how hard he’s pushing it. I know my third gear red line is right around 100 mph, so keep an eye on the shifter. It spends a good amount of time in 4th and 5th. After watching this, the 155 limiter on our ZHPs could happen before red-line in 5th. WOW!

Notable times; 2:03 is the fastest I saw, @ 140+ mph & 6000 rpm in 5th

2:45 gets a little squirrely on him, and yes he’s not even a third of the way around the ring. He seems to recover well from that and keeps it closer to the line for the rest of the video.

Yeah, I puckered up a little there from the safety of my kitchen table.

Awesome.

I just noticed...
No black headliner, the trim is just silver (not cubed), and the know is not ZHP. The needles didn't look red to me either, but then again, he did have the lights on so that messes with the eye a bit.
Are these ZHP-only that the Club Sport didn't receive?

The Clubsport comes standard with cubed trim (though I believe that you could opt for something different) . The needles come in white (instead of red). I am not sure about the headliner.
