BMW M2 last lap of 2020 on Nürburgring (with Öhlins suspension)

[@carsandwatches911]

One day I wanna drive on the Nordschleife! Nice video!

[@Franzino]

You should; it’s the Mount Everest for people who love driving 😉

@@Franzino I know I know, I am from Germany but living in London. Only been to the Nürburgring as a spectator for Nürburg24hrs and normal days but never drove on the ring 😃

Wie schlägt sich das Öhlins? Schleift es auf der NOS? Wie ist sonst so deine Erfahrung mit dem Öhlins? Ich habe aktuell das KW V3 verbaut. Habe noch nie so ein schlechtes Fahrwerk in nem Auto gehabt 🙄 Viel zu weich, selbst bei zügig gefahrener Landstraße schleift es (eingestellt 345 mm von Radmitte zur Kotflügelkante). Zudem verstellt sich alle paar Wochen die Höhe und ich kann den Mist wieder rauf drehen.

[@Franzino]

I love the handling of the Öhlins suspension on street and Nürburgring. I use the Öhlins advised spring rate (Front 90N/mm & Rear 190N/mm). I have no experience with KW V3.

[@lzhmax]

Nice one. Any camber plate mods?

[@Franzino]

No camber plates...it's my daily driver and most camber plates create extra noise.

I wonder how much the onlins compares to the stock m2 CS that just came out..

[@Franzino]

I cannot compare with the M2 CS, because I have not driven a M2 CS yet. I drove a M4 CS and my Öhlins suspension felt equally capable as the M4 CS suspension. But it's difficult to compare between a M4 and M2. As far as I know how the M2 CS suspension is designed and how the Öhlins R&T is designed...to me the Öhlins will be the better suspension (if installed and set up correct). The big benefit of the M2 CS suspension is the adaptive control from inside the car. On the Öhlins suspension you need to adjust stiffness on the dampers themselves.

[@mikehernandez3548]

@@Franzino I don’t mind having to adjust on the dampers themselves. Once it’s dialed in how I’d like it, it’s dialed in! Thinking of getting a 2018 and slapping ohlins and tune/Intercooler mod, think I’ll be happy? 😂

Sorry! Tyres???

[@angelrodriguez2503]

Sorry...tyres?

[@Franzino]

Michelin PS4S in this video; full details of the car in description of the video.

[@mikehernandez3548]

Correct me if I’m wrong but is t the 2020 m2 an s55?

[@Franzino]

The 2020 M2 is a S55, my M2 is a first gen M2 from 2017 with a N55 engine ;)

[@CarMadDad]

How did you find the Ohlins in comparison to the stock set up chappy?

[@Franzino]

I really liked it...I drove with rather soft settings (19 front & rear), the track was cold and my tyres are Michelin 4s "street' tyres. For street track purpose and easy adjusting of the damping the Öhlins R&T is really an awesome suspension. The standard M2 suspension was also nice but after + 90.000km it lost most of it working power (felt soft and to bouncy). The Öhlins in combination with a slightly different alignment made the car more fun, more accurate (steering) and overal more predictable/controlled when going through fast corners.

[@CarMadDad]

@@Franzino That's awesome feedback dude - thank you for taking the time.

[@alexandruolteanu3605]

Can you please tell me what spring rates are you using? Seems stiffer even in 19 clicks open setting

[@Franzino]

@@alexandruolteanu3605 I use the Öhlins (and my dealer) advised spring rate (Front 90N/mm & Rear 190N/mm). On street I drive now with setting 20 - 21 and for Nürburgring it will be 18 - 19. Will probably not go stiffer then 18 on Nürburgring with Michelin 4s street tyres.

[@TheMiksebik]

@@Franzino you are driving it with 18 clicks (0 being the hardest)? I have R&T on my E92 335i at 8-10 mostly...
