But as far as braking goes, I'm not claiming to be a professional or have a lot of experience, but with this wing I've experienced a noticeable increase in grip and braking force, but thats just me

I know its just a wing nothing super performance oriented but after noticing the effect of aero bits (yes a splitter an wing made a noticeable difference) I can see how cars like the huracan performante and the viper acr have such good lap times on the Nurburgring, I'm not saying this applies to my car, but suspension and brakes can only do so much until you need aero to improve lap times

If you have all season tires, you sure as hell don't need additional downforce.

You/your car have a million more things that should've been done before even considering additional aero modifications.

But on the real I already have m sport suspension and some pretty wide nittos in the back, not track tires but decent all season performance tires
And maybe its just my butt dyno but I'ce actually noticed a difference in daily driving with the wing, just stoping in general seems easier with less stress on my breaks bc they're kinda warped and shake under pressure but with natural downforce I feel like the car is breaking faster
Also just on really curvy freeway on ramps I've noticed a lot more grip

Holy shit!!! ::

I would never represent my car as a true M or M3. It's an M-sport which is an appearance package and only that.

It is unique in that it's a full LCI, rare color combo, 6-speed, M-sport, sunroof delete, non-premium package car, with Harmon Kardon audio.

I've since added the BMW Performance Exhaust, grills, short shift lever, and high kick spoiler.

Next will be a 3-stage intake manifold and tune. Then it will be my perfect daily.

Got it fron ikon motorsports
But its made for the e60 not the e90, I got this one belc it stuck ot a lot more than the e90 one

[SHEEDI]

OP, take that wing off or I am leaving this community

So the front lip is setup to counteract the downward forces from the rear wing for a full planted setup?

Im afraid you could get in over your head in the corners with your current mods. This is dangerous.

You really won't get the most out of that aero until you're personally able to reach the limits performace suspension and tires. You most likely made your 328 acceleration even slower by adding all that weight and drag.

As far as reaching the limits go, whenever I go to azusa canyon I'm pretty much already pushing the limit on my tires, suspension and breaks not really maxed out but they get pushed pretty far, wouldn't feel comfortable pushing further, but this little bit of down force does add some security in a sense

I mean its not good to have the downforce unbalanced front/back wise
When the gront was angled pretty poorly, I noticed front grip discreased but a lot and even felt too loose or nimble in a sense, after adjusting it the front grips way better

I get where you're coming from
As for breaks I'm rethinking it, might just get the from resurfaced and hopefully have the rotors last me another 10k miles while I save up for stoptech bbk

Shoot me a PM. I'll hook it up.
Sorry, my IG DM gets flooded. I can't even read through them all sadly.

This car is an automatic right?
