Yes it runs great. Some little problems but nothing big really. Front of the car tends to go down when braking hard, I will move tension strut a little to gain some "antidive" geometry. We will see if that works, if not, we have to go with stiffer spring.

Gas pedal adjustment screw was loose, that caused some problems with pedal off position but that is fixed now. New gearstick parts is ordered, we will go with Z4 M gearstick parts. Now problem is that 1->2 is impossible to change quick. Other gears work perfect, as you see in videos ;)

If all goes well tonight we will be at Ahvenisto circuit tomorrow morning ;)

There is some classfibre work to be done tonight. Yes, some parts took a little hit at first test at straight line :)

Not sure how fast you're going all the time, but the car does look quite nervous at times ! Lots of steering and correction.

Looks and sounds great though.
