Hey everyone ,
Today I took my M240i on the Nurburgring Nordschleife! Thought I would share some feedback on the car regarding tires, suspension pushed near its limits.
Tires Settings: Cold: Front 2.6 bar 90° & Rear 2.6 Bar 90°
Tires Hot (Post Lap) Front 3.1bar 142° & R 3.0 bar 122°
Tires: PS4S* (OEM)
Suspension: M Adaptive
Brakes: Fully Stock
Car Setting: Sport + & DSC Fully Off
Air Temp: 65° F
So, let's start with tires & pressures.
PS4S tires are phenomenal if anyone tells you other wise they are completely wrong & most don't even drive at the limit of this tire. It is a fast tire but the pressures need to be correct for the weight of the car & that is with any tire. Tomorrow I will start with 2.1bar F & 2.2 bar R. The tires got "greasy" towards the end of the lap so reducing pressures should be good to go. This was a test lap to see how the car behaves.
Suspension: Very surprising. Car did not want to roll I took the curb out of fox hole, wipperman, and did a small jump at Pflanzgarten and the car was planted. Miles ahead of the factory suspension on my previous F30 340xi with eibach springs.
Brakes: *VERY SURPRISING*everyone over in the G80 forums are crying about the rear brakes & tbh quite respectfully they work extremely well. I will admit I was a bit nervous myself. My previous car I had M Performance brakes with Endless ME20 Pads & Stainless Lines. I had a 30 minute chat with George from Apex Nürburg & the *ONLY* thing they have changed are the brake pads. They are waiting TüV for stainless lines. We both agreed that these cars need to be driven with DSC Fully off or you will eat through pads. Enough said.
Overall Thoughts: I love this car it is way more confident than my 340 and it is so fun driving on the Nordschleife. Tomorrow I will adjust pressures and report back to this forum. For now enjoy some pictures
