Some pics from the track

TUNEDM3 · 08-24-2011, 08:14 PM

Tracked the 1m for the first time this past weekend. Besides for my charge pipe cracking the car was an absolute blast.

First session I left MDM on which was much to intrusive. Its alot better then the previous systems, but it just interferes way to much. It kept cutting power out of turns and didnt allow for any slip angle.

Once I shut it off in the second session the car came alive. Its super controllable and very predictable. I love the short wheelbase and its torque out of corners.

What a car!!!

Gorgeous!

What suspension setup are you running?

hopofthese · 08-24-2011, 10:42 PM

what a lovely review T-Neck. Is a shame your lazy ass didn't pick up the traqmate. I would have love to see some video and get some lap times.

M3 Adjuster · 08-25-2011, 12:30 AM

what size tires are you running? I presume that the track wheels are 18s?

1MCoupe · 08-25-2011, 02:00 AM

Where are the pics from the track...

biglare · 08-25-2011, 02:23 AM

Sweet pics, but yes need more details on setup and some track pics!

I was also amazed by the torque the 1M has. I was able to keep up with cars that I thought would be pulling away easily. I cannot wait for the next track day!

I've never liked those wheels until I saw them on your car...wow...some people say the wheels make the car, but I think in this case, the car makes the wheels lol It looks amazing!

TUNEDM3 · 08-25-2011, 06:51 AM

I will post some pics on track once I locate some. Car has KW Clubsports and wheels are 18x10 25et all around with 275/35/18. I am running a 5 mm spacer in front.

how much camber do you have in front?

TUNEDM3 · 08-25-2011, 06:58 AM

-3 in front with 0 toe and -2.5 in the rear with 1/16 toe in.

Franklin Joseph · 08-25-2011, 07:09 AM

How did the tires work with the 1m? Thats the same tire i am getting to pair up with ARC wheels.
Any rubbing? I am hoping with my lesser -1.8 camber will be enough (i have 3

djafactor · 08-25-2011, 07:40 AM

What wheels are these? The first afterrmarket wheels I actually like. Looks like they mean business.

S54dan · 08-25-2011, 07:58 AM

Those tires look familiar

I've had a set, did James hook you up?

They are an ENKEI wheel I believe, with dual valve stems. We had a local autocrosser run them on a Mitsu. Evo. This is the first time I have seen them on a BMW, and they do look good.

OP: spacer up front required?

I have a set of wheels in 18x10 and am wanting to confirm what tire size will work. I was looking at 275/35/18 all around.

Franklin Joseph · 08-25-2011, 09:16 AM

wheels are enkei nt03...quite popular with the e46 m3 track crowd.

Haven't checked personally, but I think with anything wider than 9,5" you need a small spacer to keep away from shock/ spring

Franklin Joseph · 09-22-2011, 07:35 PM

just test fitted my wheels/tires, same spec as you, and with -1.8 camber, mine looks to stick out abit more than yours (with 3 and 5mm spacers), it was pretty close to the spring perch without spacers. I raised my car 2 full turns just to be safe, but did you get any rubbing on the perch? I just dont want my fender to rub on the tires, tempted to stiffen up the dampers.

thanks

I didnt get any rubbing on the perch with the 5mm spacers up front. It would not fit without the spacers. Just for reference I am running -3 camber up front, but that should only effect rubbing on the fender, not the perch. What tires are you running?

Franklin Joseph · 09-22-2011, 10:05 PM

conti 275s with arc 18x10. Heading to the track this weekend...guess i'll take it easy my first few laps to see if it rubs.

thanks

mm1 · 09-23-2011, 05:17 AM

I had Enkei NT03+M on my Evo, what spec`s are these wheels for 1M Coupe?

Advevo · 09-23-2011, 06:26 AM

I find 10J to wide for the 1M.

I go for 9.5 ET25 all round with 255/35/18 toyo r888 all round. Mount a rear spacer 15mm. And a very small one up front.

With about 1.6 degree camber front i think it s a nice fit.
