When you overcook T9.....you find out your pucker factor....I have gotten way squirrelly out of T9..dont want to do it ever again. BTW, on track out it is actually off camber slightly. For me, it is the toughest corner on the track...or most dangerous...with T6 coming in second.

What is a decent lap time for the 335 at Laguna Seca?

Not sure what Harold is doing these days..but when I am unchipped I think I am in the 1:48 to 1:49 range..and chipped about 1:47. I might have done a high 1:46.X ..but I am not positive....I keep having limp modes and CELs at the track.
I checked my tapes at Thunderhill from an event a few Friday's ago..and I had done a few 2:13 laps there..without the bypass. With traffic it was 2:16 - 2:17. This track is 3.1 miles long.

Lately, I have been just cruising down most of the straights in 6th gear, so my times have been in the low 1:50's. |

Thanks guys. I was just curious.
Since 1.47 seems to be good, then I'll be happy if I get a 1.50.

OK, that's good to know. Of course, having fun is number 1 on the mind but it's nice to know where people stand.

Motortrend managed a 1.49 with a 335 coupe stock. I'm no expert and I certainly can't afford to ball up my car. Harold is a track-aholic and Steve, well if he's not driving he's instructing. Throw in r-comps, serious chassis tuning and a tune and you have fast lap times.

Ew...not at Spring Mtn with the other radical boys? I was on track with about 8-9 Radicals once at Willow Springs...some were really fast. What group is there on 16-18?

My first time there was in March and managed 1:50 by the end of the day. This is with chicken-lifting through T1, leaving mucho real estate exiting T6, and easing through T9. In the M with r-comps, not the 335i.

I ran Laguna Seca couple years ago in my 04 TSX, I managed a best lap time of 1:54. The car had coilovers and I was running the RA-1's at the time. The same weekend, I drove my friend's 06 Civic Si, and managed a best lap time of 1:50. The Si also had coilovers, but with wider Nitto NT-01's. I'd like to take my Bimmer there, but I think this event came too early. I'm still in the break-in period. One day, I'm sure I'll take it to the track and hopefully meet some of you. Maybe you guys can give me some pointers about this car. Afterall, this is my first Bimmer.

Do we have 5 on this one?
I am so looking forward to this event with other members of the E90post next weekend. However, I have a sick dog at the hospital, but I hope she will be okay very soon so I can join you guys. |

Well, I'm ready.
I just changed my oil, trans oil, and changed my wheels. I'm good to go.

Finished replacing camber arms and resetting alignment on the M last night. I finally diagnosed and resolved a suspension problem after a year. Tonight I'll pack up the cars.
