Nice. Thanks for posting it!

A couple things about the video:

-The driver is obviously much more accustomed to and comfortable with FWD than RWD. He's much more timid with the Bimmer and gets way bent out of shape in the slalom with it. I wouldn't take this video as one car being better than the other in terms of handling, more that the driver is far from a professional or even a competitive amateur.

-Again with the driver, way far off the cones in the slalom and obviously has never heard the term slow in, fast out. He throws the RLX into the hairpin like it was a shifter kart.

It's a cool video but doesn't really teach us anything about the RLX vs the 535i. With a decent driver behind the wheel of both cars, I would still put my money on the Bimmer.

Jeff would be the first to tell you that he's not the best autocrosser out there. I believe his current car is a G35 along with an S2000. Like many of us he has also had a litany of Integras, TSXs et cetera.
