The writing has been on the wall since at least France. Hard to believe the W12 won three out of the first four races this season. Since then, other than Hungary, I can't think of another dry race where the W12 has really looked on par with or ahead of the RB16B. With the big forward step...
Man, thank you for that. I could watch that all day. It seemed like an S2000 Festival ? Your friend seems to turn in a little bit later and aggressively at least in some corners. What do you think? You both looked pretty calm and relaxed out there, like you were driving to Whole Foods ?
Kind of a snoozer today. Quickly paged through the race but didn’t seem like there was much action after lap 1. Driver’s championship looks over and done with after today. Mercedes looks set to lose the constructors too, I think.
Does anyone have recommendations on where to get pads for this car? I know where to get CSG pads but interested in the Ferodo DS2500. If anyone has a vendor they like, please let me know…
I pretty much only use manual mode with the paddles unless I'm in stop/go.
Honestly, I am not the biggest fan of BMW manuals, which is half the reason why I would not trade. They have always felt a bit rubbery and vague to me, but I am used to GM manual transmissions, which are kind of like...
I will say that with more and more of a given car being electronically controlled and customizable (e.g., brake feel, engine mapping, diff torque limits, etc.), there is at least the potential that software updates can change or improve aspects of the car's performance. I just haven't seen...
Honestly, I’m not committed one way or another yet. I’m probably leaning more factory frame just because I am not chasing big whp figures. There is no magic number but I’d be more than satisfied with 500-550 whp; my main concern is how the motor performs between 3-5k RPMs. I may yet go with...
100% appreciate this and thank you but hoping for some fact-based discussion. I can work with information about what part of the turbo is actually modified. If it’s just the cold side, then that is very useful. The “I’ve heard” and “you get what you pay for” is a little less useful to those...
Also interested. I like that GC doesn’t have a core charge. I do wonder about the big price delta between Pure and everyone else. Would be good to see some competition in the market and options besides Pure.
if you poke around the G20 andG8x board on bimmerpost, there is some discussion of Femtoand whatever Mission Tuning is doing. Nothing really conclusive or earth shattering as far as I can tell.
Also curious about any updates. I'm planning on installing sway bars toward the end of the year to complement the lowering springs already on the car. It would be good if everything can work together.
I've exhausted every option I can think of. Not sure it is possible tbh.
