Long term non BMW project teaser

[Emre]

Ive always loved these cars. My brother has a Euro 16v and a while we raced it against a NA 16v and it was a noticeable difference. I know the CR is higher on the Euro cars, but what about the cams? I cant figure out any other major differences

The only differences are higher compression, no cat, and slightly different tune.

Will post videos shortly.

Everything the Tarheel chapter puts together is on point. I really like that group. VIR is a track every car nut needs to visit or drive on before they die. Its the big bad beast of the east.

Scenes from VIR

Believe it or not, I've been doing track stuff for about 15 years and this was my first ever trip to VIR. I can't believe I missed out on this! What a fantastic place. The folks at Tarheel CCA ran a very tight ship. Tons of track time: I put in 340 track miles (100+ laps!) over 2.5 days. Here are some pics from the event...videos to follow.

Great car, would love to see it in action. Plans to go back to Tremblant this season? Family member works at Le Circuit, and I'll most likely be spending a few days there over the summer.

Great car!

Thanks! :woowoo:

Judging from the videos it seems very well balanced. In the video at hyperfest in 6/13 the car looked to have a slight push. In your more recent videos it seems you have loosened up the rear a little. Is that actuate? If so, what have you done different to the car?

Wow...great eye! You're absolutely right. Had the suspension professionally tuned by Marko at Bimmer Blue Motorsports. Much more neutral now. Rotates much easier on the throttle.

Here's another...

Here's short (<3 min) clip highlighting a minor "Initial D moment" at Calabogie last year:



Those Yoko Advan A048 tires don't take heat very well. And I flubbed the shift a little, so there was a kind of inadvertent clutch kick that started the ball rolling.

Took the car out of storage after a particularly long and nasty winter. Here's the footage from NJMP-Thunderbolt this past Monday:



Tried a couple of different camera angles this time. Also, I cut out all the fluff: no more 20 min videos!

Congrats on the press coverage! Your car certainly deserves it.

Alright! Great to see more updates on this beast!
