Far from an E30, E39 M5 Racecar

[F34R]

IMO the M5 is not made to be a fat touring highway car. You did right by her props man.

Haile has taken care of a lot of spokane bmw guys, so a few of us helped out as a thank you for all haile has done for the community.

You're so sweet, I just want to hug you :giggle:

Novice race.

Correct. Here is a link to my Group 4 race where I drive off turn 7 into the grass. Completely missed the braking point and turn in :yawn:

Good driving too.

Probably not lol. I do ok to live on but racing is a whole other expense of its own. And it becomes your ever ongoing project. I love it though.

July 12-15th at Spokane County is the next time I'm racing. After that I'm hoping for the Ridge on the 18th of August. The car will also be at 5erWest on July 23rd

No straight axle, it's a IRS unit.

It does have a roll bar in it, not a full cage.
I can't remember the exact weight. I know we have the paperwork laying somewhere after we got it corner balanced.

It would really to cool to see your car go up against my dad's. I know he's itching to get back on the track, the clutch went out on him last year up at Pacific raceways. He loves PIR so, I'm sure he'll be down around your neck of the woods some time this year.

My dad has an e39 540i that we made into a track car. We gutted it as well and it was really surprising how much weight we took out. Lexan windows are going in this summer and a JB racing LW flywheel with Tilton 5.5" twin disc clutch.

Oh and it has 8' Ford rear end.

What kind of suspension are you running?

Sounds awesome! Does yours have a cage? I'm curious on what weight you got it to. I wish we would have weighed mine before cage but oh well.

I love the JB Flywheel, very easy and little pressure to heel and toe with it.

Ford 8' straight axle? I'm sorry I don't know American car specs that well. I'm running JIC Cross Racing Coilovers with custom spring rates. JIC hooked me up on the price of a custom setup with plates.

Wow sir, that is doing it very very RIGHT.
