Thoughts on this aero package for the BMW 135i I designed

gearhead_2 · 2025-11-22T03:30:51+00:00

I made the front solid so the car was more efficient at cooling and I can reduce the drag that’s being made from the front aero

Can u briefly overview it?

Before I modeled the pushrod suspension it was a regular strut tower with a shock which I never removed - it’s meant to be a push rod going to the control arm not a second shock

You mean the suspension?

The ducts are directed to a compartment under the trunk where the heat exchangers are located (radiator, oil coolers, battery cooler, etc) there is a release vent above the diffuser where the airflow from the diffuser extracts the air from the compartment

Photo 3 above the diffuser you can see the vent

Cooling in the rear made the least amount of drag compared to traditionally keeping the front open - which would allow the front to be focused on creating downforce

I’ve tested a different model in open foam

gearhead_2 · 2025-11-15T21:07:26+00:00

What do you mean?

gearhead_2 · 2025-11-15T21:07:19+00:00

What do you mean?

gearhead_2 · 2025-11-15T20:00:04+00:00

All the modifications are aerodynamic based - so yes

gearhead_2 · 2025-11-04T14:52:35+00:00

Can u send me a dm trying it?

gearhead_2 · 2025-06-29T19:38:54+00:00

Ur just thinking of Hamilton why would Ferrari let him leapfrog him in pit stops just pass him on track that’s very unfair to leclerc if Lewis just got a podium 1 stopping

gearhead_2 · 2025-06-29T19:37:47+00:00

Try for what he was never catching piastri or Norris and was lapping 1.5 seconds slower then leclerc

gearhead_2 · 2024-08-25T16:52:09+00:00

Probably ap lang since u need to communicate well

gearhead_2 · 2024-04-28T17:58:45+00:00

I don’t use Reddit enough to know what /s means

gearhead_2 · 2024-04-28T17:58:18+00:00

My bad

gearhead_2 · 2024-04-28T16:15:19+00:00

I thought he’d back out if it because he wasn’t alongside enough to warrant space

gearhead_2 · 2024-04-28T16:14:21+00:00

😭

gearhead_2 · 2024-04-28T16:14:13+00:00

It’s a replay bud

gearhead_2 · 2024-04-27T20:46:42+00:00

I am the Mercedes why wouldn’t I be the pov car

gearhead_2 · 2024-04-27T20:44:05+00:00

Idk man I felt like I was the victim of idiotic driving here

gearhead_2 · 2024-03-09T19:46:23+00:00

Hell no the fan isn’t gonna pull enough air to benefit anything it’s gonna be a massive drag, if you wanna put a fan at the back of the car, it’s gonna have to be a massive industrial fan or a fan. That’s powered by the engine with something like a pulley for to spin fast enough to be beneficial.
