Talking Evo RS at the BMW AutoCross event

yes it was a BMW CCA event, but there were lots of other makes, and I figure lotsa trackers from this group, including a nicely driven Evo lightweight car (MR?).

In any case, hope you enjoy my writeup, from a newb perspective.

You should correct your webpage and call the EVO an RS and not an MR. The MR is still a few months away from the US. And the MR is not the "lightweight version" of the EVO. The RS is lighter but it also has some other things as well. Look at the homepage of this site to see the different specs.

I believe the BBS rims will be an option on the MR.

No in the US the BBS wheels are standard. They are no options on the US MR. I ordered mine a few weeks ago.

yeh, better blur out that license plate before you put any picture on this forum.

But something about a helmet with M3... just don't go each other.
