Any e30m30 autox or hpde cars ?

[Jean]

Just want to hear what you like and don't like about your particular combination ?

How is the balance of the car, how is the mid range power, do you wish for more top end ?

Thanks.

I’ve only tracked once, at Sebring int raceway in FL and the first thing to say is that I’m extremely happy how the car didn’t complain a single time. I beat on it for 5x sessions of 35min/e and brakes only faded away twice the whole day and I had enough time to leave the track, cool down and finish the session.

My suspension setup is excellent!! I would only consider front and rear sway bars say 24f/20r just to eliminate a little body roll for those fast transitions but I would not change my 450/550 koni (on softest setting) setup. power, well... I am fully stock ex a 4.10 lsd and it sux not to have more HP but that is soon to change since I have an s52 in the mail!! Tires would be the other thing I would change, I was running some sucky sumitomo HTR 200s and they stink...then again it was a porshe event and I might have felt slow but I was probably car-limited. I managed to pass a few boxters (who approached me and asked for mods), there was 1 other miata and everyone else either had a porshe, ferrari, GT3, GT3RS's and only other bmw (96M3) was in an advanced class.

all in all, I really guessed the setup, it kiks ass, very well balanced I actually tended to understeer much more ofter than i expected/oversteered (i drift this car so that was wierd) but i love it. Now to answer your question, I like how the M20 has a ton of mid-range torque but the engine rarely fell below 3800rpm at any given session.

...M20...

He means the M30, out of the 7 serires and 5 series, with 3.2 to 3.5 liters.

hehe didnt see the 0...~ e30m3 is what i saw....but anyways, the e30 didnt bitch once its been by far the best track day i've had to date....i'm very happy with this car so hopefully the m30 will bring him a better experience can't wait till i go 3.2. actually wonder what adding weight to my nose will do. prob same effect as the m30
