135i doing what it's supposed to do! [@ Thunderhill Raceway]

arok · 11-25-2008, 12:29 AM

Had a blast, here are some pics from my friends camera!

Stock suspension leansssss to much

. The pictures of the wheels "tucked" isn't because I'm lowered, it's b/c of the compression of the stock suspension!

LEAAAANNNNN

I believe the M3 behind me was supercharged

Fenders are rolled on my car, no rubbing (suprisingly) since I rub a little when I hit bumps while turning on the street...

Technically, we're supposed to tape up the headlights incase a rock hits it and it shatters over the track. A lot of people don't do that though.

EINSER M · 11-25-2008, 01:05 AM

wow cool set of pics, your friend took some great shots!

135i_TT · 11-25-2008, 02:06 AM

Thanks for the pics!!! Wow, I didn't realize thunderhill had such elevation changes, that downhill looks like a blast!!

MastaMind · 11-25-2008, 11:41 AM

Holy elevation change! Nice pics--looks like fun.

coco_m3 · 11-25-2008, 11:44 AM

Awesome pics.
You car looks nice on the track.

Disasterpiece · 11-25-2008, 12:31 PM

Looks awesome!
Thunderhill is a nice course, been there 2 times.

c Doval · 11-25-2008, 12:44 PM

yea tape is to prevent rocks hitting your headlights and such. I've done it going on a road trip it's very helpful

M3Newbie88 · 11-25-2008, 12:50 PM

Very very nice... yes tape it up.. plus some ppl tape the whole front bumper.. guessing it helps with any stone chips hehe..

morscode · 11-26-2008, 11:20 AM

I believe the tape was initially used because headlight housings were made of glass and not plastic. Nowadays you don't have to worry about that shattering. It would take quite a bit of force to do that.

Those are some great track pics.
