I really like all the videos you took. Very cool. You really haul butt around the ring. What was your fastest Ring time?

I'll be back in Germany for sure. Probably not on Uncle Sam's dime though as getting stationed there as an Apache pilot is getting harder. I'll probably rent something at the Ring or do a EU delivery. |

Fastest was 8:07 in traffic. I was hoping for a 8 min lap on video but my brakes and tires were not having it. Next time I go back, I'll get the 8 min lap on video

If you come back please let me know. I would like to see you break the 8min lap time on the Ring. I'm planning on attending the 2010 Nurburgring 24 this year. I will make sure to post a bunch of pics. I will also try to take some pics and hopefully some video of my run this spring/summer. I better hurry up as I'm slotted to leave for the big A very soon.

Just one last tip, and you may already know this. Watch out for Adenauer-Forst, that corner is notorious for catching first timers off guard. If you don't know where that corner is, it is where I almost killed that biker in the video I tagged in this thread. As with a lot of the turns on the track, it is a late turn-in. Most guys get it wrong and end up busting up their suspension when they run out of pavement and crash up into the white and red. Just do a search on youtube for "adenauer forst crash", pretty entertaining. My wife and I used to make the hike up there with our picnic basket and lawn chairs to watch people crash. Its a German pass time.
Actually, just thought of another tip. Try to hit the Ring on a weekday, you'll get a much clearer track. They usually open the track up from 1700 to 1900. I'm heading to Afghanistan tomorrow, yay :P Don't worry, you'll have plenty of time to hit the Ring on block leave |

Most people I know who put the right lowering springs on their cars saw improvement in handling, in autocross anyway. |

M3 Edition model runs 10mm lower springs. It has no tweeks suspension wise other than shorter springs. I assume this is pretty much as low as one can go without running out of spring travel given that BMW would have extensively tested them.
Could be another option for people with EDC. Last edited by Ant Man; 02-23-2010 at 04:31 PM.. |

Where did you get this information? Do you you have a source for this info because I was under the impression that other components were changed to the suspension to acheive the drop.

I'd be surprised if at least the bump stops aren't different - someone with access to the current ETK should be able to confirm the changes pretty easily. |

By the way, until we see some part numbers, I'm also assuming that the ZCP package is running this same Edition/Japanese suspension setup. Here's that thread: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=226909

The Competition package does use new 10mm lower springs and new re-valved EDC shocks/struts. (including revised EDC programming)

My local dealer. The competition package does include EDC changes but he was adamant that for 'Edition' models, nothing other than 10mm shorter springs are changed. The rating is the same too.
However, I have a good contact at Sytner (a large UK franchise) and will ask him to try and confirm with BMW AG though sometimes Germany does not play ball. |
