What temperatures was the car hitting? Cooling can be an issue for 135i when you track it..... and at 40+ degrees wow!

The runs were only about 1 minute long so wasn't a big issue. The oil would get to 120c then I would blast the heater while waiting for my next turn and it would drop back to 100c.

The tyres were too hot too touch at one point though, took a few chunks out of them.

Thanks people, issue resolved. Took them 20 minutes to take it off and put it on the right way.

Looking at new wheels and tyres. Right now tossing up between Anthracite Apex Arc-8s and Gunmetal VMR V718s.
Arc-8s are lighter and fit better rubber.
V718s look better with the concavity but are out of stock everywhere until July probably.
Opinions, suggestions?

Have you seen the new apex wheel? Arc 7 or something? Can fit wider rubber then V718 (but not as wide as Arc8) and has concavity.

*edit* EC-7 http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showt...highlight=apex

Yeah they look good but are still in prototype phase.

Keep finding myself looking at this thread as it is exactly the set up I am thinking of.

And V718s are back ordered everywhere for 2-3 months. Any one else have any suggestions or opinions?

Finally got around to fitting the Kerscher lip and really love the look.
Gave the car a quick rinse last night in between the rain and thought it looked tough

Did a few things over the weekend.
-Installed BLackline LCIs
-Painted the stock diffuser gloss black and out it back on (was never really happy with the JC sportline one)
-Took off the boot spoiler. I have a new one on the way but I quite like the look without one at all.
It was a much bigger pain to get all the tape residue off than I was expecting, and I now need to repolish the boot


My usual crappy iphone pic (hadn't taken spoiler off yet). I will get around to taking a decent pic sometime.
