Been a while since I've driven my own car at an autocross

Do you disable ESP or whatever BMW calls it? Or do you just push the button?

the 95 M3 didn't have it at all (my current yellow M3 is a 95)

.........on my old 97 M3, I did have the system and i would just push the button.......Eventually, I had the whole system's hardware removed from the 97 M3

Last year I had a blue Lotus Elise. This year a Black RX-8 (had a kid). Haven't had a chance to make it yet this year. Next one for sure!

Cool! I wish mine was autocrossable. Do you have an E46 steering wheel for some reason, or do my eyes play tricks?

tricks

A wheel from a Euro/1996+? I swear it's strange for some reason...

I believe the gif is throwing you off, grasshopper.... It's not from a Euro car.
... No e36 came with a perforated leather wheel from the factory

You're right, which stands to reason since you were sitting in the car. I must have been drunk. Also I figured out I could up the resolution to 720p. It's still not the same wheel as I have, but I get it now.

It's just a steering wheel from a 99 m3, rewrapped and thickened

All right, the world makes sense again.
