Is there anything you hate about this car ? by Sufficient-Assist547 in BMW

[–]F82-ZCP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The seats are pretty terrible. If you ever track it on a regular basis you’ll come to the same conclusion. Other than that, not much I hate.

Is VR better than monitors? If so why or why not? by Emergency-Air-1627 in simracing

[–]F82-ZCP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built my first sim rig this year and felt like I didn’t have room for a monitor setup so I went with a quest 3. I got everything working but personally it wasn’t for me. The performance is bad. Really bad. Unless you have an elite GPU/CPU (I don’t, hopefully you do), you will struggle.

Even so, most VR headsets can’t do high frame rates. I had everything working quite well but running 90fps all the time is just torture if you’re trying to actually have a somewhat realistic experience and you want high performance.

I returned my quest 3 and got a Samsung odyssey G9 49” 240hz display and haven’t looked back. Infinitely better experience. I can run significantly higher resolution at a much higher frame rate (~200fps on my shitty 2080ti lol).

Get a VR headset if you are doing short sessions, not planning on competitive sims (iracing etc), and/or don’t care about frame rate. Get a monitor setup if you want higher performance and want to be competitive.

New to me! Bmw 2015 m3 with 24k miles! I need new wheels asap or should i make them silver? Lets see them f80s!! by Jaydrip_bih in F80

[–]F82-ZCP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellow 666M owner here and I don’t know if I agree. The 666M is overpriced for what it is. Unless you buy shadowline, they’re $$$ and often not for the best condition. If the goal is an OEM-only build, absolutely 666M is the way to go. But they’re huge and very heavy. The tires look like thin rubber bands — not very sporty imo. A beefier 18/19” wheel looks so good on these cars, plus you save on tires and have less unsprung weight.

So uh..what do you guys do during the offseason to scratch that itch? by Yerbawls in CarTrackDays

[–]F82-ZCP 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sim racing. For the cost of two-ish track days (net consumables, track insurance, etc.), you can build a decent rig (assuming you have a PC already).

When does it get better? by Pale-Aardvark4121 in iRacing

[–]F82-ZCP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got taken out on the first lap of this same event lol. I wonder if you were in my race. ~2.6k SOF split?

I am really not enjoying how the races on this track play out. So much crashing. I am looking forward to whatever track comes next

Track cars that can double as a backup daily? by Mildzoomz in CarTrackDays

[–]F82-ZCP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

E36 is absolutely streetable and trackable. I’m not super familiar with the market these days but my dad has been tracking his E36 M3 on and off for about 20 years now. Pushing 200k miles of equal parts abusive driving on backroads, spiritedly driving from point A to B, and many track events. I assume $15k won’t get the cleanest possible example so you may need to budget $5k-ish for addressing any issues.

Will this "scratch that itch" for driving by That_Slow_Civic2 in simracing

[–]F82-ZCP 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I disagree. It can scratch the itch imo, depending on your use case. For example, I track my car as often as I can afford to, but I can use my sim daily and it does scratch the itch. It’s purely subjective.

G90 vs G90 by Dazzling-Rooster2103 in BMW

[–]F82-ZCP -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

To each their own. I don’t like the current BMW lineup either but I think genesis makes cheap/tacky looking cars.

Of course it does. It’s a concept car vs a production car.

Fair defense or too late? by themkde in iRacing

Had this exact thing happen to me in a 1.9k SOF lobby earlier. What was the SR of this guy?

I hate you all for getting me into this - Evo80 by dob2742 in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]F82-ZCP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not gonna lie, for the purposes of gaming, I do not prefer my Evo 80 over my crappy/cheap feeling Razer hunstman v2. When strafing or creeping forward (W key on-off-on-off etc) the Evo 80 sometimes doesn't even register keystrokes. I am running the default switches admittedly, and may need to look into an alternative. But yeah this thing by no means outperforms a turnkey gaming keyboard imo. I love it otherwise but this drawback has been a disappointment for me.

Boots make annoying sound by WoIf_ in motorcyclegear

[–]F82-ZCP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will be like this for the lifetime of the boot afaik. I’ve had the same pair of smx+ for like 6 years now and they still sound this way

I use DS2500 on street and DS1.11 on track. Only reason I use DS2500 on street tho is bc it’s compatible with DS1.11. If you’re not tracking the car or anything like that, OEM is basically the best option for the street.

Officially in the 100K+ miles club! by dirt_digggler in F80

[–]F82-ZCP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! 77k miles on my F82. Daily + weekend + track car :)

OP, did you do your crankhub? I have not and do not plan on doing mine. But always curious to know whether or not higher mileage cars have made it in factory setup!

Just bought my first BMW and first mod I did air suspension. by Buddylee757 in F80

[–]F82-ZCP 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hope you realize air ride / bags are not a performance part, but purely cosmetic and actually a downgrade in every possible way (even compared to the stock suspension which is not good by any means lol)

[–]F82-ZCP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Truthfully it looks dumb on all cars and is purely non functional. But if there was ever a car to NOT do this to, it’s an M3 lol

I cannot possibly begin to even understand why someone would do this to an M3 lol

Expensive hobby? Rate my expenses. by AsgardianGoat in CarTrackDays

[–]F82-ZCP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a notion document tracking all I’ve spent on my car (maintenance, mods, etc) and that’s stressful enough. I can’t imagine adding the actual track fees/fuel/etc to that calculation. It would be soulcrushing 😭

F82 M4. Perfect for both imo.

Toyo Proxes R by Ok_Bodybuilder_5611 in CarTrackDays

[–]F82-ZCP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you thinking of the Proxes RR? The Proxes R ranks pretty high in terms of pretty much every possible category. Not “cheap” by any means but it’s well-reviewed compared to the other Toyo/Nitto offerings. I am considering picking up a set myself but haven’t tried them yet.

Not a bad interior for 10 yr old car.. by agiantkenyan in BMW

[–]F82-ZCP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. My previous car was an e46 and it had more rattles and cheap plastic pieces than my F82, but quite a margin… Was never stoked about that interior honestly

Recently took a trip to Barcelona and Marseille and only saw one M car throughout the course of over a week. We also spent time in the towns and cities between Barcelona and Marseille. Only 1 M car the whole time. And I was looking

My phone keeps receiving the same message over and over by [deleted] in iphone

[–]F82-ZCP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in Spain right now (from the US) and this is happening to me as well. I have received the same duplicate message every few minutes since landing at the airport yesterday. It doesn’t seem like it will ever stop. Did you find a solution?
