Matt Farrah of The Smoking Tire took a BMW M235i xDrive to the Gingerman Raceway to see how the car handles on wet and dry track.

In pouring rain, Farrah decided to push the M235i xDrive to its limits and see how it handles the wet pavement. The following day, he decided to repeat the test but this time around on a dry track.
