BMW 128i |

Not my first time on this track with this car, but my first time trying to go for a timed lap instead of drifting the infield. Before I came to the track I expected it to be pretty boring as it's a very short circuit, but the bank just adds a whole other element that I've never experienced before. And hitting that bump in the middle of the bank at over 100mph only adds to the experience. I was also not expecting this track to absolutely destroy my tires because after just 2 hours of driving the tires I came on, which to be fair were already very worn, went all the way down to cords, which I think helps explain why the front end felt like I was driving on ice. I had a goal of 1:06 based on similar cars, aka a track-prepped e36 m3, however, I greatly underestimated the condition of my tires. I'll definitely have to come back again

How much does your weigh? I see your half caged but have performed a weight reduction with lighter seats.

[@slow.e82]

should be around 2980 with a full tank.

[@gpajic1987]

Amazing! What does it rev to and how??

[@slow.e82]

I currently have redline at 7500 since with the n54 manifold it should make peak power at 7400 rpm

[@gpajic1987]

@@slow.e82 👌 did you lose some mid range by doing this?

[@slow.e82]

@@gpajic1987 yes with the n54 manifold you do lose some midrange compared to the 3 stage in exchange for top end

[@in54ne82]

Great setup and driving 👍

[@jiru5728]

How much are you getting to the wheel?

[@slow.e82]

Never dynoed but others with the same tune and mods are around 250whp

[@bestiarara]

You should be higher than that considering that the 130i hatch is at 265 stock and the Engine is the same as yours (at least it is here in Europe Where we have 125i and 130i, both n52)

[@slow.e82]

@@bestiarara crank hp is not the same as wheels hp. If you take a standard drivetrain loss of 15 percent 250 wheel hp ends up at around 295 crank hp. But still think crank hp is dumb unless you have an engine on an engine dyno

seems slow

There’s a reason slow is in my name 😎
