Me and my baby this past weekend. Had to learn how to drive again after adding front sway and REAL tires...

Looks like a lot of fun! Glad you're enjoying your 1er.

Does the car have more lateral grip and better feedback from the steering wheel without rft tires?

Very highspeed course. Wish ^we had that much space in NY

Damn I miss brooksville, forgot how much fun that course is. It was a blast in my 1er and the mx-5 I used to have.

Been hitting up sebring lately though and I'm addicted haha

Hey man the video looks awesome. I have to do this one day! Just out of curiousity how are you liking the ETS FMIC? I was very interested in this one, but everyone keeps telling me to go with AMS. I don't want to do all the cutting involved with the AMS. Let me know your feelings torwards the FMIC. thanks man!

ETS FMIC has been great. I have JB4 so I can watch my iat, and it works, doesnt get as hot as it used to. MORE importantly it allows more airflow at higher rpms, which I feel every time I'm flying through 3rd and 4th gear top ends. No more choking at top of 3rd, just keeps flyin! Would def buy again, plus no cutting. Another good point about the ets, is that it comes with piping, so its not just the intercooler your replacing. Its some of bmw's retarded restrictions.

Get it...

It looks like it could be fun though.

Yea its an abandon runway (thats falling apart). Not too much lateral room. This course was def high speed, more than usual. Even still, when ur trying to get start/finish as fast as possible its always hard and takes skill and patience.

135i = understeer. Front Sway and tires have helped, but around the back main turn around, my speed was just a little high = understeer. I recorded these in the AM (still learning the course). In hindsight I should have filmed in the afternoon, cuz by the end of the day my times were down 5 seconds on a <1 min course. BTW, the e93 convert M3 front sway I believe is 28mm. Thickest you can get... awesome mod too. Everyday driving is much more enjoyable.

Was filmed on a hero gopro hd (not mine). So limited filming... Pretty cool little camera. Thanks for comments!
