Out, BAD because toe out decreases vehicle stability but increases turn it.

Winner :up:

TECHNICALLY: Toe out in the front will help increase turn in -- but not in the rear. This is why these cars have a tendency to lose traction in the rear when you let off the gas in a corner. :)

TOE OUT IN THE REAR IS NEVER GOOD :)

but it sure is fun 8) jk

that's interesting... i deed naht know that.... but don't forget that letting off the gas also transfers a little more weight from the rear to the front, putting less weight on the rear wheels, therefore less traction, which compunds the effect that i just learned about ;)

wow that is interesting. does that only happen if the car is still in gear, or will it still happen if you put your foot in on the clutch?

[SlammedE30]

I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter if you are in gear or not, because there is stil a decellerative load on the car. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

[rs4pro3]

Different 3rd brake light.
The I Engine got lighter redesinged pistons I believe in 89.
Instrument cluster change to external coding plug on the front of the cluster.
Air bags.

[Brian 89 325i]

im pretty sure airbags didnt come untill the '90 model year. Im not sure about the brake light but i think my question was kinda vague. So ill just ask another.

What is the listed top speed of the 325i?

Brian

P.S. The parts I was looking for are pop out rear windows and the external air temp sensor. Sorry

[Hawk]

136mph.

[rs4pro3]
