OK, here's the deal. I used to race shifterkarts, and I let that hobby/obsession go when I went back to school. However, I am done with my schooling for now and would be interested in getting into club racing. Since leaving karts I have done a few autocrosses and the Laguna Seca HPDE (and the Thunderhill HPDE this weekend). I understand track geometry and feel I am fairly skilled (famous last words) --- I just need more seat time to get comfortable in full size cars.

I have a 1998 318ti that I use as a daily driver, autox, and HPDE car. Very reliable, and I have upgraded most of the suspension, so it is tight. Unfortunately, it is very underpowered for the track, and I could use more power. Additionally, I put Bilstein PSS9s on it which (to my understanding) will keep me from participating in any stock classes. It is great for HPDE and autocross but, please correct me if I am wrong, it probably would not be a very competitive club racing car.

I considered putting the 318ti on a diet and making it barely streetable, or even turning it into a trailerable track-only car. But the truth is, if it won't be that competitve, I lose my daily driver --- and to what end?

That said, I'm willing to dump the 318ti, and spend about $10k on a car, and I am looking closely at streetable E36 M3s or 325is'. But I don't want to buy another car without asking the advice of the poeple who actually club race.

If I want a streetable BMW that I can go club racing with on the weekends, what do you recommend?

Well it's that time for me and was wondering if anyone had any good feedback on "All Weather" "High Performance" tires. I have a 2005 sports package 330ci, typically drive a combination of both street/hwy and would probably be considered a "spirited" driver who loves those curvy freeway off ramps . In the following order, I'm looking for: handling, tread wear, noise reduction/ride comfort. I've looked on Tire Rack already but am looking for additional feedback before I buy. Thanks in Advance to all!

BMW 2002 vintage race car history?

Posted: Sat Nov 15, 2008 6:30 pm

Have recently purchased a 1970 BMW 2002 vintage race car roller. History is unknown but believed to have been owned/driven by a Rob Ferro (sp?) who may also be involved, or was, as a BMW driving instructor.

Any contact info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Need help interpreting a shock dyno graph....

Sun, 09 Nov 2008 00:54:57 GMT

Author: NotoriousRacing

Posted: Sun Nov 09, 2008 12:54 am

I was thinking of using this shock on the rear of my 1990 e30. Unfortunatly they sent me this graph which goes by a different unit of measurement than what i'm used to hearing.

So far everyone i've talked to rates thier compression and rebound numbers by Nm @ (1/2M)/S and this one is in pounds and inches.

Can someone PLEASE help me convert these numbers into something comparable to what I get from Koni or Bilstien?

What is the maximum spring rate you think this shock handle?

anyone after better brake rotors?

copied from Australian E30 racing chatgroup, thought you guys could be interested-

Hi Guys!

Some of you may know that there is an E30 Racing Series in Australia, in Victoria.

Like the UK Production BMW Cup, US Spec E30, and NZ BMW E30 Series, we are allowed to upgrade other areas of the brakes (lines, master cylinder, guide bolts), but we are only allowed to use original size brake pads & brake discs (260x22mm front).

Those of you who drive, track, or race E30s will know that there is not a lot of choice out there if you want to run original size brake discs. ATE, Brembo, RDA etc make slotted or drilled variants of what are normal brake discs, not really designed for motorsport/high load use. Anyone who as seriously punished a set of brakes will know that most aftermarket designs don't have anywhere near the longevity as proper performance discs.

And that leads me to the the focus of this email.

I had a discussion with the Sales & Marketing Director of Disc Brakes Australia (http://www.dba.com.au). DBA make a number of different variants of brake discs for all sorts of different cars, and make motorsport versions (4000 & 5000 Series) to suit factory applications on specific vehicles. They are the control brake disc supplier to the Yokohama V8 Ute Series in both Australia and New Zealand, and these manage to pull up an 1800kg V8 beast!

http://www.dba.com.au/2006/products_4000.asp
http://www.dba.com.au/2006/products_5000.asp

DBA has recently been expanding into the USA, and now Europe, opening themselves up to more and more vehicle specific fitments. DBA currently has a number of products meeting TUV approval standards. You can read testimonials from all over the world on their website: http://www.dba.com.au/2006/testimonials.asp

DBA currently offers a standard or slotted front brake disc for the 1983-1991 E30 318-325. They do not currently make a 4000 (single piece) or 5000 (2-piece) series disc in our application.

My contact at DBA advised me that 2 years ago, at an automobile show in Europe, he received some interest from some owners of Alfa Romeo Montreals. They were seeking performance discs after Brembo had discontinued that line of products. Once enough information had spread, and enough interest was generated amongst Montreal owners for DBA to produce a 4000 series disc to their specifications, and DBA now continues to produce and supply that disc around the world. So this means that if enough worldwide interest can be generated, DBA can produce discs for that interest profitably.

So let's all (AUS, NZ, UK & USA) generate that interest for our cars - and never have to worry about front disc supply again. Let's get a proper, motorsport specific brake disc made for our cars - because we all know the E30s are worth it!

The DBA minimum production run for a 4000 series 6x6 Slot E30 front disc would be 100 sets i.e. 100 left discs and 100 right discs. You don't need to order them, just display significant interest that the product should be made.

To this end, I have setup an email address where you can send an email specifically requesting that DBA produce these discs:

dba4000rotorsfore30s@hotmail.com

I will make these emails available to DBA to demonstrate how much demand there is for a product like this.

So please, let people around the world know through other forums, club meetings, chat rooms, Facebook/Myspace, however you can, and tell them to get emailling!

Cheers guys, and hopefully we can see some discs turn up soon!

Hi folks. I see this post here and I am wondering how many people you have found who are interested. I guess I am interested but not as a driver, as an observer.
So maybe this is not the right place to post my question.
But here I am.
I wonder how much interest you received on the racing BMW's sort of just for fun.

Great photo. Thanks. I like the gaining traction real fact comment and the underlying hint that it is gaining momentum as an attraction as well. I don't know if you meant to slide that in there, but it is cool. You made my day with that photo. Maybe I am too easy to please?
