Winter - Looking for a hair more traction
I've got a 135i with FBO+Meth which is entirely useless in winter, lol
I had my winters put on today, and am looking to get a bit more traction in the rear. It understeers horribly in the slush but I can work around that. Usually I drive my subaru in the winter, but the BMW is a much, much nicer car. Should I just put more ballast over the rear axle? Tires are currently Pirelli Winter Sottozero Serie II Run Flat but I have no interest at this point of swapping my tires. I'm running the factory pressures. |

I can only imagine how bad it must be. The LSD will help a ton when you get there. In the meantime I have no ideas other than maybe disconnecting your tune in the winter..lol.

I'm not sure if it would help in your car, but in my 128i I put on winters and a bag of sand (well sealed in another bag of course!) in the trunk over that axle. It works quite well.
