I took my G87 M2 roll racing at Racemotive!
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com For those of you who aren't familiar, this is a roll race event that occurs on the NASCAR track at Pocono Raceway. It's a 1300 ft race. To have a good start, you must hit the first set of traps below 65.99mph, otherwise the run doesn't count. Your speed is measured at the second set of traps and that's your run! For context, last year I trapped a best of 118.xx from a verified start in the G42 M240i. The car had 900 miles on it and only had an Eventuri intake. Well I was addicted and knew I had to go back. I managed to get my M2 registered and we went with more mods this time. For performance, my car has Eventuri Intakes, Active Autowerke GESI downpipes, Equal Lenth Midpipe, valved rear section, and it has a Racechip running map 7. I also have the OEM 827m wheels which are lighter than the 930ms. My best run of the day was 140.74! That's way faster than I had anticipated. I saw a guy at this same event ran 137 in a G82 with the Dahler unit, so I was really only expecting to run 135ish. Really a great day. I did 10 runs in total, unfortunately most weren't against people in my class. I raced a Tesla Plaid and got smoked. Also raced a 920whp trackhawk on ethanol and got smoked. But it was all a ton of fun. I made a YouTube video if you guys want to see what the experience was like: Here are some pictures as well. I can't wait to go back next year. The goal will be to break 170 next year. Shouldn't be too hard, these S58s are very impressive. Thanks for checking out this post! |

Sounds like a bunch of fun. Can you give some more details on the spec of your car? Auto/6 speed, carbon roof, couch seats? Looks like with some simple bolt ons and a piggy back, you can really get this car moving, thanks for sharing.

meh, more fun when you get to use some other inputs with the driving... they have a couple of decent road course setups there, but the transitions to/from the nascar track are a little odd.

I much prefer road courses and even autocross, but for a low risk Motorsports event with an easy learning curve and low cost of consumables, at least they are at some type of organized event testing their skills and learning rather than doing donuts at a takeover with a bunch of mouth breathers. Well done OP! Keep going and if you really want to go the next step, hit up an autocross or an HPDE at the track. You won’t regret it!

The best part of this is the fact you did all this with a roof rack on.

BTW the more I see this M2 in motion, the more beautiful it gets. Especially in black!

OP, I remember seeing your car at the event and thinking, “damn, the new M2 looks stunning in person…especially with a roof rack”

Are those wheels forged or cast like the stock ones?

Love your vehicle!...great photos..... and I dunno maybe you're totally fine with it, but if it were me I'd wanna change the front plate location. If you're thinking the same this thread is definitely useful: https://g87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...ighlight=front
