Bimmerworld races 328i's though so you'd think they have a pretty well sorted car to base things off of. Maybe their race cars have true rear coilovers? That would make 800/1100 much more neutral handling.

If I keep seeing 128i videos like this I am going to need to sell my 135i. I liked my NA 128i so much better on track. It actually like being at 6,000rpm+ lol and lifting a bit to change the cars balance didn't lose all your boost :/

1:29:9 at thunderbolt is faster than a spec e46. That's a damn fast lap.
Yeah I had a feeling the 800/1100 wouldnt work for me but oh well worth a shot! Now I know. Yeah I love the 128 so much, i hate that people think I am in a 135 though, especially when they dont lift for a point by haha. Thanks!
