This car eats the E9x M3s alive. Not even close same driver, same course. I'm 3-6 seconds faster per lap, depending on the track.

Unfortunately I will miss both events.
For BMW event on Aug 12th, too many important meetings that day. I may do Aug 11th Proformance PM lapping instead. I always have less/no meeting on Wednesday or Thursday, so end up doing Proformance events more than BMW club events. Then I will be out of town the whole Sept. Hope I can catch some events before the season ends in Oct. Quote:

I think he's just referring to the capabilities of the oiling and fueling system - E9X is rated for 1.4 G without issue, and the E9X has no issue with fuel, even if it's near empty.

What i wrote is: "It looks like the regular M3/4 needs the GTS goodies just to be on par with the previous generation M3 in two areas: -fuel pickup -oiling system. Stock car is capable of only 1.2g whereas GTS and previous M do 1.4" I have not said anything about the speed of either car. I'm talking about fuel and oiling capabilities. On the E92 using almost corded R1 tires I got 1.58g so I know the car will regularly be doing over 1.2. The fuel thing is a bigger deal as my brother and I track the car back to back Last edited by SYT_Shadow; 08-07-2016 at 02:50 AM.. |

I am going to try to source one. I hope it is the same as the E92, where you access it from a panel under the back seat cushion....

Experienced this multiple times yesterday at Big willow. Pretty upsetting as it ruined one of my sessions. Every time I was putting power down exiting turn 2 (a long sweeping right hander) the car would hiccup. I was at about 25% fuel as indicated by the gas needle and driving on NT01s.

I have a 2015. I believe it comes down to driver skill and mechanical grip of the car. Running R compounds or other stickier tires, especially with a better aftermarket suspension, would generate higher lateral Gs and would make the car more prone for fuel starvation. My friend has a 2016 Comp Package on R compound tires who did not have the same issue but was not carrying as much speed through the sweeper. I'll see if I can give his car a spin next time out with low fuel and see if we get the cut out.

My mixed feeling here:
I sincerely hope this issue can be resolved. I know it's bad and it won't happen to me, I can't help hope that I myself would experience this issue as it definitely means that I am so so so freaking fast. |
