I am loving the cool weather!

Feeling more power and seeming to get better gas mileage to boot.

My favorite times of year...fall and spring.

My engine loves the colder weather, my tires not that much..

PrimoM3 · 11-09-2012, 12:37 PM

Agreed... but, just think how the turbo guys feel. It's like a night and day difference.

Amri215 · 11-09-2012, 01:22 PM

I miss summer.

Turbo guys won't notice a difference. A turbo is able to build the same boost regardless of pressure/temperature. Superchargers will be building more boost this time of year though.

My turbo'd cars always felt faster when it was cold. Although boost will be the same, the charged air will be better cooled.

Had a 135i for four years and certainly felt the difference in air temps. Especially the N54 which is prone to heat soak and reducing power when things heat up. So, yes, turbo guys WILL notice a difference.

Cooler air = more o2 molecules = more fuel to match = power. Turbos, Na, SC, Lawnmowers.. All will be more powerful.

Okay people, I had a brain fart, lay off. While the boost pressure is constant, the reduced temperature of the charge dictates an increase in density (ideal gas law) meaning more oxygen and power.

get those dynos done =)

It's amazing what a few degrees on the thermometer will do for huge gains on the butt-dyno!

Shouldn't really be getting better mileage I don't think. More power = more fuel....

808@702 · 11-10-2012, 01:55 AM

Just seems to. Faster = Farther = Better.

Nang Vann · 11-10-2012, 02:05 AM

Can't wait till summer!

Denk · 11-10-2012, 02:59 AM

That's why I moved from the South to the Pacific NW. Me and the M3 are happier!

Donbona · 11-10-2012, 03:01 AM

Always notice the difference in power here in London on a chilly morning. My car always seems to pull so much harder.

Cold weather = Drift time

With my car at least, I guess with your beast it is pretty much a year round thing

DBH · 11-10-2012, 10:36 AM

Reformulated (winter) gas also helps!

808@702 · 11-10-2012, 07:39 PM

Burned some carbon out today. And some rubber. 48 f and this car is worth every penny.
