Thinking about those same wheels (assuming they're LTW5's in 17x8.5). Are you running a square setup? What tire size? Overall impressions?

It was my first time running the 135i on a track. I'm running a 245/40/17 squared set up, LTW5s 17x8.5. Suspension consisted for BMW Performance springs, Koni dampers and M3 bits. My previous track car was an E36 M3 with AST 4100s. Grip was outstanding and never felt like I was going to lose it. There was a bit of understeer. It's heavier and doesn't turn in as well as my M3 did. You could really feel the weight of the car especially around the corners. Body roll was significantly more then my M3 also. I've added the M3 swaybar since my last track day and stiffened up the front Konis a bit. I never got completely comfortable with the car. It rained 5 out of the 8 sessions, so only 3 dry sessions. The throttle response and power was exceptional and had no cooling issues, of course it never got above 75 degrees. Overall I was a bit disappointed, but credit that to lack of familiarity with the car around a track. I think with some more track time I'll eventually be faster in my 135i then my M3. Next track day is in August at the Autobahn.

No issues with 245s on my part. I have -2.2 camber up front and -2 in the rear. No rubbing issues with the BMW Performance springs. See what happens when I switch to the Swift springs, but that should only lower my car at max another .5 inches below my current set up so I should still be ok.

I'm running 245/40/17. I'm running Michelin Pilot Super Sports, not optimum but it's what I got. This was actually my street set up for my e36 M3. When I parted out my M3, I sold my track wheels, Kosei wheels with Star Specs. As soon as I wear the PSS out I'm switching over to either the G-Force Rivals or the Dirzerra IIs.

Just installed these with Koni Yellows. Love the way it looks and handles now. Not too stiff for daily driving and its the perfect height.
I took measurements before I installed since I couldn't find a definitive answer when doing research. 2011 M sport to Swift Springs: Fender to bottom of wheel F: -3/4" R: -5/8" Took the measurements right after install so they havent settled yet if they are going to. Before: After: |
