These don't have a particularly good record. But I'm not aware of anyone
keeping count of this model in autocross rollovers. Perhaps we should.

I seem to recall Erik Strelnieks (M.D.!) rolling a BMW at the finish line
on the left-side course at the National Pro Solo about three-four years
ago. I believe he suffered a broken arm. As I recall, a contributing factor
was a fast lead-in followed by a quick right-left-right slalom. There may
have been a bump in there as well.

        Strelnieks no longer drives a BMW.
