You should, totally don't regret selling the 128 at all.

It is super easy to drive compared to the 128. Just keep it out of bogging and it's a pretty quick car:

Looks to drive the same as about every brz/frs I've seen at autocross. They all tend to drift the tighter sections because they oversteer so easily (they are fast doing it too of course). Kinda funny to see you happy over-steering easily in that car but you had your 128i setup to understeer.

Don't know if I really want it to oversteer. Asphalt lot and stuff leads to less grip.

The 128 is impossible to get the car to rotate effectively like the FRS. It will naturally push, no way of eliminating that.

I squatted the rear of my car back down to eliminate rake. The car did not feel balanced with the rear sitting higher than the front and it over-steered too easily (cross-weight was thrown off too much mid-turn). Still running 6k/16k with the front sway delete. Car feels fantastic right now. The Federal RS-RR (will hold 1.1G) doesn't produce the same lateral G's as an RS3 (will hold 1.3G) when hot, but it's nice that they provide grip when temps are lower like the first few runs at an autocross whereas RS3 were impossible to get heat into them.

No BMW can compete with BRZ/FRS on autocross or track.
