#4 can be. I’ve gone right to far edge once when the brakes decided to take a vacation.

If there is a message, buying an expensive car is not necessary to have fun or go fast on the circuit. I’ve always wanted an ///M car, but driving the 1er has been a blast, and my need for a high performance car has surprisingly dwindled. That’s not to say I don’t want the RS. Any day. |

have you coded any of the brake related 'assists' off?
namely: -brake fade compensation -brake pretension on throttle lift off -brake over temp protection (reduced engine power if it thinks the brakes are to hot.) -not sure what the last one is called but if the car senses an emergency stop it applies the brakes more then what's being asked for at the pedal ohh and the electronic diff - seeing as you have a lsd |

Some great driving. I'm sad that the two thoughts I'm left with are: a) why the hell are BM moving the 1er FWD having seen yet again how great the platform is b) other than the 30 odd rocking horse pooh M4 GTS where is the BMW answer to GT3 and 650S? : |

Highly recommend CASTROL SRF The wet boiling point of SRF is higher than the dry boiling point of most any other fluid. That means when your SRF is contaminated , it still performs better than any other fluid that is still fresh off the shelf. That's how much better it is. Your brake pedal already got mushy, don't just bleed the calipers, just pony up $70 bones and swap fluid now and you'll be amazed. I "accidentally " forgot to change my fluid for six months and my SRF felt awesome for a full year. Theres no need to bleed the calipers ever anymore between events. |

Strangely enough, Berk Technology recommended the Motul over the Castrol in an old thread when they raced the 135i. Otherwise I would have gone straight to the Castrol in the first place! |

Isn't the 2-series really the new 1-series though? Please tell me the 2er is staying RWD! It's just a same that (like every other car on the planet), they keep growing in size.

I hope so. If the 2er ever becomes FWD, it'll mean BMW lost their mind for good. At least to me.
I like what they did with the M2 and M235i, and I hope they keep it that way - keeping the roots of their original spirit somewhat alive. |

2-) has those gt3 and 12c drivers as skilled as 135i driver appeared? I m hoping not.. ? Now, how critical above? I let you guys figure the rest Best.

It's just for fun. It's fun to see that if a person is willing to put in the time and effort, you can hang with much faster cars, just by refining your own skills.

Wow. That sucks man. Just because you can afford the car, doesn't mean you can handle it.

Fortunately the damage seemed limited to the exterior body panels so it should be fixed with minimal downtime. I've seen so much worse in just the few times I've been here. This track can eat cars!

This X 1000!
I race on a Chump Car team, so we have 6 different drivers for some races. There can be lap time differences within our own team of around 15s per lap, using the same car, on the same day, only difference is the driver. And this is among drivers that ALL have dozens of hours of track time at the same track. 15s/lap is an eternity. Really puts it in perspective. |
