Yes, the mid-engine placement in the BMW M1 gives it a near-perfect weight distribution, which enhances its handling and stability. However, it also means that the rear end can snap out if you push it too hard on corner exit. My advice would be to gradually increase speed and always be mindful of throttle control.

The mid-engine design of the BMW M1 helps to reduce understeer and provides a more balanced driving experience. However, it's important to note that it also requires a different driving style compared to front-engine cars. To improve your skills, I recommend seeking out a professional driving instructor for track sessions.
