...........sorry, Akra system with wireless kit, AFE Stage 2 Air Box, EvolveR tune.
Biggest problem now is getting the power to the ground and I'm already running PSS. As with Sparoz, I'm waiting to see what the Ohlins offering is before proceeding with Coilovers. Agree with all other EvolveR implementers...........what a difference it makes and why didn't BMW deliver it this way?????? |

Well Paul you have the most powerful IM that has been on the Advan dyno so far, and that was M off.
Even Joe was there helping to tie this thing down on the dyno Joe is next with the Cobb lets see what we can do It must be a rocket on the road Paul, as we struggled to get traction on the dyno i think there were around 10 other people who saw your car on the dyno that day, i did 4 or 5 runs as the first two just smoked the tyres on the rollers. these cars are starting to impress the Skyline boys and the golf R lads shame there is only 300 in Aust There will be the usual non believers |

How can it struggle for traction at 280wkw? I've seen cars dyno 350+ with way cheaper street tyres and not slip.. Is it just the way boost comes on or what?

The design of the car is a little flawed from a traction and handling standpoint, read the latest comparo in Motor magazine to see what they say.
Both Pete and Joe drove the car post tune and will confirm the traction issue. It ain't no 4wd thats for sure. |

I've never been scared by any car so far but there's always a first time. My M Coupe stepped out about a foot at the top end (over 140 MPH) with slicks and that did not scare me.
But there's always a first time for anything! The thing is we are all on our own performance motor vehicle journey, some are scared by a lot less than others at any given point in time. Fear is what keeps us alive and that is a good thing.

Struggling to see how a 1M with wider, better tyres and LSD can have worse traction than a 135i with same power/torque? They don't have very different power curves to each other. Especially considering the M has taller gear ratios?
Not saying it isn't happening as apparently witnessed by multiple people, just asking how it can happen? As has already been said, the only dyno that counts is the long back one that goes for 1/4mile... |

Well that's exactly my point. The 1M is designed to handle better than the 135i. So with all it's 'M'agic parts, it can't get power to the ground as well as a 135i? Makes zero sense to me...
