great pics
one day i hope i get the chance to get my car into a circuit

dkizerian · 05-08-2006, 05:34 PM

some great photos....

I'm still working up the courage to get the car out on a track. I'm having a hard time justifying it with a perfectly good autocross car sitting in the garage next to it that would just need some brake work(mostly adding brakelights) ad a few other things to be decent for trackdays too...

At least the e90 will get autocrossed next sunday if the weather holds...

Great pics!!

Looks like you took that last corner a little wide.

The wagon looks very at ease on the track.

Thanks!

My wagon is very at ease on the track it seems. With the 325 engine, and AWD, even with DSC/DTC off it's nearly impossible to get my car out of control.

I only went off the track once, after not waiting to warm up my tires before trying to drive 10/10

Eisenman racing, and "R" compound very, very soon......... :rocks:

I spent the weekend up at Circuit Mont Tremblant in Canada. If any of you get a chance to drive this track DO IT! There is a blind uphill/downhill combo with a blind turn at turns 2-4 that are just incredible. You're doing this sideways hopping cresting the hill at about 110mph, then zipping down the hill into a sweeper that compresses due to the hill, and you can keep the speed up. Incredible feeling taking it on the right line.

Forgot this one:

... and this one of me and two of my buddies coming off of Namerow corner, down onto the front straight. We're going close to 100 there.

sblument · 09-10-2006, 11:20 PM

Had my 2nd autox this weekend at Maywood Park, a horse racing facility near Chicago. There are a lot of autocrosses here including BMWCCA, a VW club, etc. This was autocross 5 of Windy City BMW, the Chicago area CCA chapter. I ran Saturday for the first time with a CG-lock installed on my seatbelt. It locks the lap belt but not the shoulder belt. I'm thinking of getting into this seriously and will eventually install a racing harness, etc. Will keep the car pretty much stock until my skills reach a point where upgrading the call will matter. I may be looking at a set of wheels and tires for the track for next season to avoid having to replace my runflats too often.

How did I miss a thread like this? Looks like everyone's having fun with their car out on the track.

Here are some pics of me from my recent HPDE. See the full write-up here:

where can i go tracking in the NJ area. Im jealous lol.

jojogargoles · 09-11-2006, 12:58 AM

i notice that E90 has alot of body roll. IMO

SE3P_to_E90 · 09-11-2006, 03:53 PM

oohhhh, i see a red 8 in post #7... but the car doesn't look dropped-nor does it have an aftermarket exhaust...

that was my car prior the e90... it must've been a pretty sight.

Robin_NL · 09-12-2006, 02:05 PM

This was last may at the Nordschleife in my 330i. Maybe yet this year I take my new 335i to the Ring as well. If not then april 2007.

Its a good thing you didn't decide to buy a G35 or IS350 instead.

Where are there any tracks in south florida? I wanna play too!
....And is there an age requirement? I'll be 18 in January.

There are tons in NJ, I know at the meadowlands they have them and englishtown. Just do a search.

CinciBlueBimmer · 11-22-2006, 03:55 PM

Here are a couple of shots from my HPDE at Mid-Ohio. Saturday we dealt with rain, hail, sleet, snow, lightning and 40-50 mph winds for most of the day (oh, and the non-windchill temp. was about 39 deg. F.) Sunday was much nicer, and much more enjoyable.

I thought the car did very well considering its weight and the stock tires. Next year will bring Kosei K-1's and some stickier tires, so I'm looking forward to even bigger fun!
