After a little bit of prep in the BimmerWorld shop we took our brand new G87 M2 to VIR for its first track day. And we are going about this project as systematic as possible, so the first day at the track was going to be setting a baseline lap time with it 100% stock. Stock power/tune, stock suspension, even stock brake pads and tires as delivered from the factory.
From there we added a little bit of camber to the front with the help of Ground Control camber/caster plates and a set of PFC 331/332 brake pads. Everything else still 100% stock.
The last runs were done with a set of Hoosier R7s, but because of the sizes available we actually had to go with a slightly "smaller" front size with a 265/35/19 and 295/30/19 rears.
So, how fast do you think we can take this bone stock car around the beautiful 3.27 miles of Virginia International Raceway's full course? You may be surprised just how fast this car is out the box. And now that we have this baseline we can start adding some go-fast parts and see how quick we can make this M2!

      Not a concern at all, the mesh is tight enough to keep debris out, but still plenty of open space to allow for airflow and cooling to be unchanged. Honestly cooling is not even a slight concern while adding these. Our racecars get an even tighter mesh applied to the front of the coolers for protection and they too have zero cooling issues.

    That oil cooler is going to need a bit more protection...

    • @BimmerWorldMedia
      @BimmerWorldMedia 20 днів тому

      This is plenty protection actually. Similar to your F8x its tucked well up out of the way so this is just to keep some rogue road debris from causing a puncture or cause damage to the fins. If you've really damaged this cooler than you have far bigger issues going on and usually considerable front end damage to worry about. No cover will fully bulletproof the coolers, but this certainly gives a decent layer of protection and some peace of mind.

    • @goraceacar

    • @BimmerWorldMedia
      @BimmerWorldMedia 19 днів тому

      They are certainly two different products. Yours is a skid plate that adds some strength (and weight) to an area that rarely sees a direct impact from something large while leaving large holes in the area where smaller debris can still reach the cooler fins. The Zunsport is a very simple, lightweight way to keep small debris from damaging/puncturing the cooler while leaving it tucked up and out of the way. The oil cooler's location is far higher than the lowest edge of the front bumper. That Miata you run over will take out the rest of the coolers in the nose on the way to your beefy skid plate. The skid plate idea sounds like a great idea on paper and coming from past BMWs that relied on skid plates to protect the OIL PAN because it WAS the lowest hanging item under the car it uses that same fear on a cooler that just is not in the same location at all. In the end its whatever helps you and your oil cooler sleep at night. We love this simple, lightweight option from Zunsport!
