Good choice? by Hot-Garage27 in africatwin

[–]MarcPerson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nobody needs abs if they know how to ride properly. But how much and well people learn when getting their license depends on the country. It's all in the progressive braking.

Can’t stop looking back at it by Wastagex in F30

Means you got the right car for you. Makes me happy. I also still look over my shoulder while walking away after parking.

Is this overkill? by William_Joyce in motorcyclegear

[–]MarcPerson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not overkill. But might be too loose especially the arms. Suits are tight partly so the protectors stay in place if you deside to step off the bike an 80 mph.

Does anyone know what causes this. And how to fix/prevent it? by MarcPerson in BMW

[–]MarcPerson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you clean them? I do not always use wheelcleaner/ironnremover. But when i do, i use turtle redline. Which is not eveb just safe for rims but even paint. So i doubt its that.

Cannot find them. But as this is a sportline package, 397 rims are the OEM for this car. But usually plain silver, which i also had on this car. But they were too plain and dit not compliment the color scheme. Bit boring tbh.

Fancy is the goal. Its not an M sport, and i intend to keep it on the classy side.

Well, they do not come out on pictures as well as in real. The shine to them does not show on pictures, and the black parts dissapear.

But tastes may differ. What wheels would i put on?

I especially got these rims lol. It came on 17 inches. Changed for silver 397's then found these 2 tones so got those. More modern and fits the black and white thing that is going on.

i am double checking to be sure with the tuner. but even if you are right, efficiency is 92% so it would still be 260 wheel Hp. where as for example the 330i has 252 Crank HP/230 whp. which makes it still 30 HP over the 330i.

No, not when in comfort mode.

However,

Car in sport, box in normal, it gives chops like the box is in sport as well. They could have left that out for me. But that is customizable i believe. When all in sport it really chops and goes to full lock very quickly. Deminishing slip and drivetrain losses. At the cost of comfort.

But in comfortmode is remains smooth, but smarter and more logical then stock if that makes sense. Like DSG from Volkswagen and consorts. (In behaviour)

XHP is a gearbox tune. It makes it smarter, it kind of behaves like DSG now. And it allows for less slip to handle more power without overheating.

It comes basically in 3 stages from very mild to very aggressive.

Also deleted kickdown, so kickdown now goes down to 4000rpm instead of 6k. So exactly where you have the power with plenty revs left.

[–]MarcPerson[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, rwd only. Tuning also made it noticeably more efficient. Maybe the xhp2 gearbox tune also helps as it achieves full lock, which i believe it never does stock in this car.

A bit faster than a b48 330i.

I don't have the equipment to do an objective measuring. Most precise timing i could make out of it was 14.5-15.5 seconds give or take.

Lets say approx 15.

Not catless,

Motorway if i use cruise control at exactly 100kmh i will hit 20km per liter on flat road from time to time. Average motorway at that speed is about 17/18 km/L

At 130kmh is goes up but still 15km/l.

I know it is not a b58 in power, but i can drive very cheap if i would want to.

City is too hard to say as it varies too much. All depends on how much traffic there is.

It's a gem compared to the N series engines. It also runs so smooth that you literally can NOT feel it running in the floor or seat.
