BMW M235i 2:20 136mph at Watkins Glen, essentially stock (video)

ineedae46m3 · 10-03-2017, 09:36 AM

Well I got down to a 2:20 at the Glen in my M235i on Sunday. 6spd. RWD. Sport mode. Stock Brake Pads. ATE 200 Brake Fluid. Hankook RS3 245-40R17 Square. (13 Days on them running 38 hot all around so pretty worn).

Super excited, had a couple 2:23s that day, I am beyond excited. It was fun chasing down a track prepped 135i.

Came into the toe a little "hot" otherwise I probably would have broken 2:20

Nicely done! The Glen is a very nice and fast track, difficult in some areas too!

Just curious, what is your wheel set up?

What do you think gave the 135i the advantage? I understand it was "track prepped," but what exactly? Thanks.

BTW, I was at an HPDE this weekend (running RS4s on the same wheels as you) and every instructor there said their favorite track is The Glen.

It was gutted, caged, suspension, lots of camber, pads/rotors, I can’t remember what the aero setup was if any.

Got it. Thanks.

Stock camber? If not, what specs are you running?

I would have taken you up on that, but I just traded for a MY2018 F80 M3

now to learn how to put down some good times with that car!
