I recommend you check out last week's podcast on The Smoking Tire http://shoutengine.com/TheSmokingTire/

They run a 228i MSport on real tires on the track and its shockingly fast. I have a lot of FR-S pride and a huge bias, however even I can admit a car with a sticker price $10K removed from the FR-S is a worthy adversary (albeit not on the twisty roads).
