A clutch type diff would be awesome but I try to keep costs down as much as possible and the $750 price of the Mfactory diff during their GB was too good to pass up. If I go clutch type I'll likely go with a full M3 rear-end and go OEM E92 LSD which would allow me to run normal offset wheels too. Not trying to spend $3-4k on a diffsonline LSD as great as that would be.

spxxx how are you liking the 510's after spending more time with them? How are the 400/750 rates on the street?
They are at the top of my list for dual-duty with more focus on street. Any feedback would be helpful. |

They're great, I don't drive it on the street too much anymore but it's totally bearable. I'm going to bump up to 500/800 soon, hope I don't see too much increase in understeer with the stiffer springs up front.

Good to hear, thanks! I'll prob try 6k/12k because I'm 70% street focused, but it's great to hear actual feedback on our platform. Cheers.

spxxx You got 500/800 in yet? OEM M LSD is bad btw, always spins inside wheel before actually locking like a true clutch type. |

Car is lowered but not excessively. Bought it modified so not sure on stock height, best guess is 1.5" lower than stock. Haven't changed springs yet, solidly into winter here and it doesn't get driven in salt (although I did take it out Sunday and destroy about 2k of tire life in 20 miles . |

By chance are you using linear throttle mapping with xhp? I am exploring a 335i 6AT dual duty build but read LT mapping on xhp is not suggested as tcu control works on pedal input (and assumes stock throttle).
Any ill effects if you are? Stock throttle mapping is undrivable for me on track |

Are you planning on running any NASA events in the near future? Been looking forward to seeing you out at Sonoma since seeing the car on track last season but, haven't crossed paths yet.

My track car has been sitting in my garage collecting dust, so sad. Might start daily driving it and decide if I want to dual duty it (and sell the daily) or keep it track only. I have another 08 135i that I'm driving now daily, picked it up super cheap and figured it was easier than getting the track car smogged and registered for 2019. Would love a real racecar, been looking at spec46 once the budget/work schedule allows it.

Ohh sweet. Yeah I'm looking to maybe buy a house in that area between San Jose and Santa Cruz, scenic location, housing market hasn't gotten too crazy and still decently close to most of Silicon Valley. Still have yet to find the best roads in the area though. Someone suggested Highway 9, that was nice, also drove around some of the Uvas lakes here south of San Jose. Have yet to find anything that compares to my beloved mountain roads in Malibu or the Ojai area.

Haven't updated in a while but finally made it to Thunderhilll West (2mi) on Saturday for my first 2019 trackday with more than 3 laps completed.
Haven't had this much fun in a very long time, wasn't even timing until the later sessions. This tiny 2mi track has ~10 turns and made me realize how bad I need to install the M3 steering rack though... The car ran 5 full 20 minute sessions without skipping a beat. The car ran a low 1:25 (2nd time at this track) ____ for reference, there were some good Nasa drivers in fully race prepped E46 M3s that were fully gutted / legit aero / multi-way shocks which were in the 1:23 range ... That made me feel better 😆 Looks like these mods combined are sufficient for heat management with our N54s on track! - 18 row tranny cooler (depending on trans) - dual 25 row oil coolers - Distilled water / water wetter - Additional airflow to coolers / hood vent Hoping to get to Laguna Seca this week for my birthday. This weekend demmmmm remind

Few crappy pics from the event. I'll post up in-car video soon since I know that Thunderhilll West 2mi isn't the most popular track.
