Track Settings E87
Hi, please can you help?
I'm based in the UK and race an E87 130i that has M3 arms, Ohlins/KW (mid set) dampers with a solid mounted rear sub-fame and solid engine mounts. I have to run road tyres in the series I compete in so Yokohama AD08's (235/40x18 & 265/35X18) on 9J 35et rims. Spring rates are 475lbs front/rear and I run a Drexler LSD. Camber is 2.5 all round, 4mm toe in rear, 2mm toe out front. With this set up and 300bhp 260lbs/ft, I struggle getting the power down without oversteer What suggestions do you have on this set up to help the oversteer? Thanks |

I would suggest setting the rear dampers to a softer setting and increasing rear tire pressure. additionally you could reduce your front camber or increase rear camber. you could also reduce front toe-out as well as more negative caster. all these would help with reducing over steer.
furthermore you can try modulating the throttle a little better coming out of turns. 135 has more torque and it all comes at a very low rpm so I need to be careful with throttle inputs otherwise I will be facing the oncoming traffic

To get the power we first removed all the standard wiring looms, ECU's, fused boxes etc and fitted a custom loom with Motec M800 ECU and Motec PDM 30. ARP con rod bolts, E36 throttle bodies on custom inlet manifold, race headers as used by BMW South Africa and a lightened flywheel. This gave 299bhp at 7200rpm. |

I heard a tune on a 130i will get you 280 PS and 325Nm with an otherwise stock motor. this is done solely with software.
