Thanks for taking the time to test this. IMO that confirms the power dome is not needed to clear the engine. 2 inches is a lot of clearance.
That said, how do you like the car? I know you still haven't had a chance to fully break it in, but what do you like or even dislike about it so far? How spacious is the cabin to you? I don't know if you had an F22 or F87 before, but if you did we'd value your insight between the two. |
Ok so I've had an F87 Comp for a few days here in Germany and I can immediately tell you I like that car more.
Dislikes about the 240i : brake pedal is entirely too mushy but I already had SS Brake lines waiting to try and fix that issue.
the car does feel extremely heavy when turning and it falls flat on its face at about 130mph because of its weight. The G8X chassis manage the weight better imo I've also driven the G80 Comp & G82 Comp.
I dislike the intelligent safety system. Having a car counter steer for you is very unsettling for me. This is probably just a G chassis problem in general
I can give you a ton more feedback June 2nd. I will be doing 3 Touristenfahrten days at the end of this month.
The F87 Comp is more raw, energetic, begs to be driven and needs to be tamed which for me is apart of the entire driving experience.
I got this 240 because it aligned more with my budget this was my second choice over the F87 comp but I would've had to give the dealership and extra 10k to get the monthly payment I was comfortable with.
Overall , I feel like if somehow the G42 can go on a diet and loose 3-400lbs it would be a more enjoyable car. My car shipping weight was 3827lbs with 1/4 tank of fuel.
Cabin space: I'm 6' 215 athletic build 32inch waist. I haven't adjusted the seat and it hugs me just about right. The only thing I had to do at the dealership was lower the seat more because I was sitting entirely too high but that was just my personal preference. Hopefully I have enough room to put my helmet on.
Likes: LSD , 893m wheels 8.5j F & 9.5J rear with a 245/255 stock tire set up.
I'm very biased because I drive my vehicles on the Nordschleife so there's things I tend to nit pick on and I end up just changing these things to suit my needs anyway.
