My car changes over time after an oil change. After fresh 10 QTs of M1 15w50 + PF64 filter which always goes in prior to a track weekend, it's always at full top of fill mark tab. Throughout the...

If you look at the video from each source it's crystal clear that the ZLE started at what many mfrs are are using as the 20.6 KM start line, and finished at the same 20.8 line that BMW used for...

I didnt know anything about the 20.8 vs 20.6 Ring distances before this, I assumed all Nordschleife "North loop" times were the same until joining Bimmerpost and watching these CSL videos recently. I...

GM reported this time as a 20.8 KM Nordschleife lap time, but it was in fact a 20.6 KM time and ~4...

PSS are great tires, the model just prior to and similar to PS4S, and PSS is still produced.

Assuming they are 80%+ tread, only question is the 4 digit WWYY DOT date and storage temps... if they...

Thanks for the info, I bet using 3.12 on track and 2500 on street would be a good combo--I'm curious, how long does a 1" set of 3.12 last?

If they made 3.12 for the OEM ZL1 brakes I'd run those,...

I think it was clear but just in case, I was not criticizing. I was only sharing info on what was my favorite BBK upgrade. The OEM CCB is definitely a nice upgrade.

PSS don’t seem to be an option anymore for ZLE, don’t see the right 19” sizes on TR.

Also, just noticed how much more expensive PSS are in 20” ZL1 sizes vs PS4S in ZLE 19” 305 & 325 sizes. Over...

Nice CF dive planes break too, and cost a fortune--$250/ea I think. I know a guy at track who did all CF parts and regretted the dive-planes after breaking one.

A "1LE" without the front aero would be disappointing, I think the ZLE canards may be the the biggest canards ever put on a factory car from a major OEM (or any size OEM). And they are the most...

That's good evidence of the effect and flex, thanks for sharing... seems like that would cause alignment specs to vary some under stress in a way I'd prefer it doesn't :-)
