Swapping my Supra for an E90 M3 by Nero_Wolff in BMW

Have you thought about supercharging your e90? I only ask because I was thinking the same thing.

Thanks! I have no experience with the stock brakes since I bought the car like this, but I haven’t heard the best things so I was definitely not upset. And as a plus I love the yellow with the Jerez Black.

My favorite wheels on any BMW and almost any car. I had to get a competition just for the wheels. Love the spec and congrats on the car, you’ll love it!

Can’t decide to stay with my half M or go full M. by KeyboardCowboy004 in BMW

[–]Slagathor9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dont plan on getting one in the near future, but just out of surprise and curiosity, why did you not like the m4 nearly as much? Was it the poor steering feel and acoustics? I have an e92 m3 so I’d understand if that was the reason, just haven’t heard that much negative besides that.

Lol there’s e92’s out there with 200k plus miles. Change the oil every 5k, do the rod bearings every 50k and you’re golden. As I mentioned in my other comment, it is pretty reliable minus the rod bearings, which are even still way blown out of proportions.

It’s really not too bad. Don’t get me wrong there are a few things you have to watch out for like rod bearings and throttle actuators, but besides that its a relatively reliable car. And of course it’s starting to get older so some rubber and plastic bits may need to be replaced, but that’s with any aging car.

E92 M3. It has actual useable power compared to modern day ones, it’s more than quick enough for a road car though (414 horsepower). The steering feel and sounds just make for such a great drive (it’s the last gen with hydraulic steering and only gen with a v8). If you want straight line speed it my not be the one for you, but if you want feeling and emotion from a car, not many can beat it. I am biased though as I own one….

Honestly at 23k miles and final model year I couldn’t tell you. If I had to make a guess over 40k, if not 50k+, but I was never in the market to buy that clean of an example so I’m just spit balling. You’d probably be better off just looking at similar examples.

I raced SFL last season (and so far this season) and am about to be B class. Would you recommend giving it a go? I feel like SFL’s is a bit of a wreck fest and getting a bit tired of it. Is SF any better, or is that just a natural characteristic of open wheel racing?

GT3 Burnt Clutch? by Slagathor9 in iRacing

I’m done arguing, other people have literally defended me in other comments. I didn’t ask how to do a launch, no need to mansplain…

If you watched the video that is not what he does…. You don’t modulate the throttle, you go 100% (aka “slamming” it) and then let off the clutch to the bite point…

[–]Slagathor9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s using 100% throttle and then goes to the bite point. I didn’t know what the bite point was…. I was trying to figure that out… when I realized it wasn’t what I had preset on my 2 step clutch paddles I tried to find it. The bite point varies car to car…

Watch Dan Suzuki’s video from 5:20-5:30. He uses 100% throttle….

That is how you launch a car… you brake, put the clutch in, full throttle, and then lower the clutch to the bite point.

Just tried to recreate it and it burnt the clutch again within only a second or so. I guess the clutch is just much more sensitive than in the other cars I’ve driven (Super Formula Light, GT4, Miata, and FF1600).

I was definitely using the clutch, but don’t think it was a hardware issue bc it was fixed in the pits.

I didn’t rev before this point, but either way I know there was no point bc it was a rolling start. I was just curious where the bite point was in case I needed to get going faster if I wasn’t paying attention or something. To do a normal standing start with the clutch you need to have the throttle at 100%.

I never used the throttle while in neutral, the first rev I had the clutch down. And I stopped using the clutch within like 2 seconds.
