My son and myself would be happy to shell out a few extra dollars for some extra runs!

I would say FP is your best choice of class at this point ... just need some lexan (cheap and you can do it yourself) to cover the rear window.

Hope that makes sense.

FP won't work for us as it applies only to 1 series non-turbo and we are turbocharged 135i

Thank you all for the replies, great suggestions and info!


-Reijo, for some reason the evil google machine told me gutted interiors would land me in XP. I got desperate and did some googling last night as I was unsure after going through the rules. I must of found some bad info on the good old internet (imagine that?). I cross referenced the rules and couldn't come up with a definitive answer. (just me not reading it correctly i guess).


I was just worried that I did something or will do something I couldn't undo that would give us a big disadvantage down the road.  Ive been through the rule book a few times and have a hard time digesting some of the information as there is a lot of info in there!

Hi Everyone,
I hope I'm not going to get flamed for asking this question in my first ever post! My son Mason and I entered our first event in Calgary today Oct 14 and had an absolute blast. We were in a 2008 Silver BMW 135i and thoroughly enjoyed running this car and were hoping to get some clarity on classification. We picked up the car as salvage as it was vandalized. I have no intentions of ever putting the car on the street. Someone jumped on the roof, beat the crap out of it, smashed out the rear window and sunroof. It sat out in Abbotsford for almost a year, open to the elements (rain, rain and some more rain). We were forced to strip and discard the headliner, carpet, rear seats, sunroof track, rear trunk carpet, amp, speakers etc. due to mold and have no intentions of replacing it. I also will not be shelling out the cash for a new rear glass and sunroof and would like to remove the side curtain airbags. I fear this will put us in the XP class from what I read in the rule book and other forums. Ive asked around and have gotten some mixed feedback on what class it would fall into. Not really sure what route to go with it, we have a budget to do some stuff the car but know we will not be competitive in the XP class no matter what we do to the car and don't have endless bags of money to throw at it. We are doing this for fun but both enjoy competition and still want to be in a class where we can be competitive. Can anyone shed some light onto what class the car currently falls into? We ran open class today because we really didn't know where it falls.

Thanks, Dan
