i plan to do brake pads/fluid, new wheels/tires (hoping that 17x8.5's will fit the front) like falken rt615's. suspension stuff later, once i get a feel for the car. i'm not going to go to R comps until i've had 3-4 weekends with the car.

+1. I usually only do 2 events per year, but I'll follow a similar path for the suspension.
I also want to investigate if the E8x has the "free camber mod" like the E46 has - if it does, it will go a long way towards taming the understeer.
And before any of that, I'll probably be throwing a JuiceBox on it, in Europe, right after taking delivery. :smile:
In the meantime, this year with the 335 I'll investigate an easy/cheap method for oil temp reduction - via specialized oil. I'll try the BMW Motorsport 10W60 first, then if that doesn't do anything the (? weight unknown) Motul racing oil recommended by a very good racing shop in the area (Road Racing Technologies). They had a 335 at the DC Auto Show prepped for the One Lap.
