M235i Willow Springs hot lap (again), 4.4.2015

Everyone:

Another quick hot lap video at Willow Springs (no spin outs this time) from 4.4.2015.

I promise my next videos will feature a new track: Chuckwalla! All the way out in the middle of the goddamn desert!



Enjoy.

On the front straight it looks like I was somewhere between 135 and 140. Willow Springs is a very fast track. A friend of mine in a C7 ZO6 was doing 150+ down the front straight a few months ago.

Well, most of the mods were there last time (sans the H&R springs). I just had my alignment adjusted from 2.25 F/1.65 R to 2.25 F&R. Helped slow the rotation of the car down.

You couldn't hear it anyway. Those tires generally aren't noisy and the car doesn't push at all anymore -- just a (very) slight bit of oversteer that is very easy to correct with a quick flick of the wheel. When I get my new rear end put in (in a few weeks), should give me a little push and I'll end up at neutral, or whereabouts.

Yeah. On Wheelwell as well as the "garage" section here. Most of my mods are suspension/brake related. Haven't touched the engine. Next mod on the list is a new rear end/differential.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Engine is built like a tank though. I'll have to be more careful and shift a little later during by braking zone. Good eye!

I have never driven at willow springs nor do I know what a fast lap would be in an M235, but you cracked that downshift off a little early. Everything else looks very nice. Having tracked an E36 racecar pretty extensively, the best part about driving a BMW on the edge is playing withe rear end under throttle.
