Track-time Ramblings
How to shred a tire real fast.
Stock M8 on a tight track. Dont do this. Pressure management didnt help. Last edited by Dr Thrillride; 09-10-2023 at 06:23 PM.. |

BMWs high performance wheel
The weight of the m810 front wheel really surprised me.
38.1 pounds wheel only. Anyone confirm this? Finding it hard to believe. Tire attendant weighed both? I had thought a heavy front would have been 28-30 pounds. Last edited by Dr Thrillride; 08-12-2022 at 11:28 PM.. |

Looks like you had a blast!!!! I should have taken pictures of when I had my X5MC out on the track, I was throwing nobs off the tire at other drivers.

Was installing Eventuri intakes and then read, remove the grill, and Im like WTF. But to my surprise the grill pops out effortlessly.
Whats the worst that could happen? Break it and replace with a carbon piece Anyways, the stock BMW intake would seem a bit inefficient (top 2 pics) but no complaints about the performance of the stock M8. The Eventuri system is not a truly closed system like the Dinan available on the M5, but I cant see that the Dinan turbo tubes alone would provide much benefit. The Dinan inlet is not available for M8. Eventuri it is. Thank you Ben PS, charge coolers have not arrived so no install yet. FEDEX customs clearance appears to be PITA.

I did. I ran a 126.9 around Rad Torque track on day 2. Just sliding around turn 1 and 7 which shredded it. Taking it easy, Im running a 134.
Read, thats good for a stock GT streetcar. I want to post video but havent got there yet. I guess I talk to myself while driving which is weird on playback. |

The Wagner Tuning charge coolers arrive and will have a shop install them next Monday. Noticed CarBahn uses CSF intercooler, but I prefer these.
Inquiring now with local shop with connection to CarBahn. TheGreatM8 do you have yours in hand now? Install looks straight forward. I scoped it out whilst doing intake. I found a post in M5 forum about low temp cooling system that will help with install. Let me know if you want me to pull it from browser history.
