No sway bars available for the M340i RWD yet unfortunately, and I doubt I'll ever put on aero. A lot of spins here were partly caused by too much rear camber which has been fixed. No one really tracks this car to this degree so setting it up is an ongoing experiment.
@@vrandomserious the car is currently at 3.2/3.3 up front and 2 in the rear. We will be reducing the rear to 1.9 but hopefully keep the fronts the same.
@@chrispy28 oh that is pretty steep in the front, I'm still stock and soon starting to track my m340i (norcal) and have been looking at camber plates and springs
These bimmers are so amazing with how balanced the chassis is. You can really recovery gracefully. Im my ZLE its a lot more nerve wrecking. & my previous hellcat is was simply poop inducing
LMAO I wouldn't say the recoveries here were very graceful, but at least I saved most of them lol. I do love seeing 1LEs at the track... absolute monsters, and they sound really good. As for a hellcat though... not sure I've been in a run group with one. I'd be downright scared to drive one at a track.
@@chrispy28 Ive seen a lot of bad drivers on the track you where def great. Sure you went off track but you controlled it well and got back on fast. Honestly i enjoyed watching this. Keep going my brother
I can feel the weight just watching this lol. Lots of oversteer for sure. Is it tuned? Maybe less power and stiffer rear sway? Regardless I admire the perseverance.
Car has stock power, and I'm running square 255s on 9.5" wheels, which is probably the biggest square setup possible. I could run 265s, but that will undoubtedly perform worse due to suboptimal tread width compared to wheel width. There's nothing to roll in the rear fenders, so cutting into the body is the only way to fit bigger wheels/tires, which I'm not willing to do on a relatively new car. I could run a staggered setup, but the car actually has an understeer problem believe it or not.
@@chrispy28 >> perform worse due to suboptimal tread width compared to wheel width. I am not sure I understand this part. If you go for a wider tire, and you keep the same psi, the contact patch will stay the same, what you gain in width you will lose in height. However, it doesn't make sense to keep the same psi because you will be overinflated, there are calculators that can help you calculate the lower psi for the wider tire, which will give you a larger contact patch. You will probably need at least a 10" wide wheel for this to extract max performance.
@@rdab700 Admittedly I'm new to this whole car thing, but a friend of mine shared this article: motoiq.com/how-to-properly-select-and-size-tires-for-performance/. `For ideal handling: when sizing a wheel for a given tire, I usually target the WHEEL to be the same width as the tire’s TREAD width, or 0.5” wider.` But I'll ask around how to mess with psi if I ever run a larger tire though. Thanks for that. Regardless, running 265s wasn't good for this setup anyway. We needed to add too much rear camber to make it fit and also raise the car to avoid rubbing.
The moment the rear end kicked out I knew I lost traction on all four tires, so I really just held on, straightened the wheel, slammed on the brakes, and braced for impact lol.
