Building an E90 Endurance Car

Great to see the car and meet the team, hope to see you guys at NJMP in November. I'll bring my E90 to that one

Definitely. Looking forward to it. We plan to be there.

When I did HPDE with my e91 with GM 6L45 6AT, my next planned modification was going to be a trans cooler with fan. There was a 335 with 6AT that already had already done the research for an ext. trans cooler.

Good to know. Thanks for sharing.

We have done 3 races so far this year and the tranny has been running without skipping a beat. Fingers crossed we get another year out of it. At that point I’d be happy to replace it with a ZF 8 speed.

Quick question: did you guys weight the car as it sits now?

GasBurnlife(landapanda) · 08-09-2024, 12:17 PM

We did. With a 200 lb driver we are a shake above 3200 pounds.

For reference my street legal M2 with a 1/2 cage with me in it is 3630 lbs.
