New M235 from GT3 owner

rosenbergendo · 10-20-2014, 06:17 AM

We needed a third car so I snuck one in on the wife. I had never seen the car in person before purchasing. But what an amazing car. Coming from the track world this little guy seems very very potent with very neutral handling with a tap bit of oversteeer (fun) and decent brakes.

Car is really cool. had to get auto b/c of wife driving some from time to time. GT3 is amazing and now classic. BUT this is being built as we speak. And we have X5 2015 M-sport. I guess i like BMW's!!

Congrats!!

Thanks. This forum has been really really useful. Really enjoying the car. Learning the nuances of the Sport Auto tranny. I cannot believe the algorithms they have programmed into it and how amazing they are. Trying to get a handle on what moving the shifter into S when in sport or sports plus really does. I can't imagine the Super Sports lasting long. What does everyone recommend for the quickest launch besides launch control. Sports Plus and brake boosting?

Welcome!

VMRWheels · 10-20-2014, 03:37 PM

Congrats!! Car is looking good, enjoy in good health

Isn't Sport + just sport with the traction control turned off? That was my understanding.

Thanks guys. I asked in the other forum-is there anyway to code for the sport gauges (the one showing HP and torque) for the non-nav equipped cars?
