It probably wasn't the most elegant wording, but I was trying to differentiate a Lombard street type scenario with tight corners that are taken at very low speeds and relatively tight corners that can be attacked with some speed. Pixels definition is actually pretty good, too. |

that was great! funny how tires were faster than the tune and weird how exhaust had such an impact but I totally agree with the idea of getting coached first. of course there's always exception for the naturally gifted ones
edit: on second thought her times have little meaningful value since she was a novice. I missed the point, ooops

I did! They have 25 years experience! The engineering guy is still the same. They have the best service you can think of! Since I only know them from bmw meets and so on, they made me the offer to make a 600km trip to them and they`ll spend a hotel room and show me every corner of their halls. And yes, I`m not liking most of the body kits too! Btw. have you ever driven the 225 square setup? It feels way better than 225/255 that I had before. Quote:
I want a more planted feeling at high speed. So I want the bouncing to be gone. That`s what I mean with stability. That`s the biggest problem! And I want to reach higher speeds on mountain roads, where I drive every day. Atm I have eibach springs, but the m dampers doesn`t feel good at all, so I want to do the whole thing. coils, bars and bushings! at the same time. Now do you think what would be my setup? Sounds like I don`t need bars at all! And why sould I go for ONLY a front sway? I think my car rides pretty neutral at the moment. wouldn`t it be better to change none or both? Quote:
I think this is a pretty good tip. But the main problem is at high speeds on the autobahn. And I did several track days. With the 130i I had before and with the 135i. I have a real and famous racetrack in front of my door (Oschersleben). The nordschleife is not too far away. I was there couple of times. BMW Performance invited me for couple trackdays where I drove their 135i and 335i with a trainer. So the problem is not that I don`t know how to drive. I know what is missing to get it better. But I don`t know what hardware I need to solve the problems.

But I said that I already have some experience with a driving trainer and with tracking?
Of course I can get better! Everyone can! But I`m as good as I need to be. I`m not a race driver, but I can have fun on a track like I mentioned. Maybe someone is faster but idc! I just want to have fun! Plus driving trainer will be no solution for the bouncing! Like I said, it have no loss of grip and I`m not slower in corners than before. I can go threw the same corners and I am def not slower, because the ride feels way better. Plus I can driver faster threw high speed corners on the autobahn with this setup! It is very smooth.

Because of the square setup it`s feel neutral. I don`t know how to tell in english, but you have the feeling that you are more connected to the car and to the street. You feel what the car does way better than before. You feel exactly when your car hits the stability limit and to want point you can push it. Plus it`s pretty comfortable in cities and on bad roads. The setup just fits my driving type perfect!

So I can def say that you are not right. There is enough grip in every situation. It just wouldnt be nice for drag-races. 245 won`t fit with my rims.

i'd definitely nook at a 255/265 rear with 245 front even without any more power the 225 front is only too small if i go in too hot, but the 245 rear is too small under just about any kind of hard acceleration, even in a straight light the traction control light blinks WAY too freaking often. so as someone who CURRENTLY drives a 130i, i can definitely say you're not right |

your 130i seems to have lot more power than mine! you know that the traction control isn`t the best in the 130i? There`s a big problem from 0-60. I hated it! Especially with wider tires! had 225/255 and 215/245 mounted btw. keep dtc in position 2 and try again, you will see that everything works fine! more mass needs more time to get fast. going wider in the front is the stupiest thing you can do because the 130 is understeering as hell! your rear lets go too easy when you`re going fast threw a corner? with an understeering car? not bad!!

I was 205 front with my previous summer set and after mounting 225 front on my 18", I was ... waouh :O ! There was so much grip front !
Moreover, that was the same for the rear : more stable ! I came from 225 to 255 and it was night and day ! That's why, like the others, I would recommand to swap the 225 rear to 245 or 255

yes, but you have to see it in combination!!
205/225 is shit!! 225/225 is great!! Plus it`s just a matter of taste! I like it when I can feels what the rear is doing! when you feel more safe with 255, then go for em!

NO, wider front REDUCES!!!!! understeer, add grip to the front, remove from the rear and you'll oversteer! don't get me wrong, it definitely has understeer, when going SLOW, say around a roundabout, my back wheel will clip the kerb where my front has cleared it.. and yeah, it's not like the back will magically step out on you, i've got TONS of grip both front and rear.. . but when .. say on a long sweeper, the front doesn't suddenly slide out way before the rear, even with my 225/245 it's extremely extremely balanced, and the back will step out first. i'd like less understeer in dynamics, rather than a 'grip' sense... less body roll secondly.. (bringing it back to the sway bar conversation) and yeah of course more grip third. Quote:
the fact is, a rear sway bar with no supporting mods will reduce rear end grip which will make it easier to go sideways, but will NOT let you go around a corner faster. end of story. |

This thread is drifting to OT because we are now only talking about tire measurements for the 128i and 130i!

i just confirmed ac schnitzer's recommendation of 225 square and a rear swaybar (i had to check... almost didn't believe it myself). this truly solidifies my opinion that ac schnitzer is a joke. |
