Nice work Misha 👍 yeah it just really lacks dynamic range doesn't it. Re the camera angle, I reckon halfway inbetween those two laps would've been awesome. Gives that fpv effect

No biggy, we know the track by now so it was a nice change to see what goes on inside the car.

You’re losing oil pressure badly on quick transitions and some turns! I had that occasionally in my S54 even with its OE baffled sump, usually running oil level 1 extra litre over full on track is enough to help or solve it. Awesome car though!!

[@FASTFAMILY]

yeah man u're right :) actually at this lap my oil level occured to be a little low, after these ones i double checked it and added 1.5L more :)

Nice tracktool, like you've said Misha weigjt saving of aircon removal is a bit pointless with no real races to be driven. The owner want's alot of tracktime. Keeping your head cool should be a priority then :)

[@FASTFAMILY]

Yeah but on the other hand a 20 years old a/c compressor would probably die at 7000rpm thats why I took it out + its 20kg of saving +you have better water cooling getting rid of the ac radiator so there is plenty of pros :)

[@robertbcope]

I've said that about heat for a long time. It gets hot here in Texas. I often wear shorts and tshirts when on track. Some folks have given me grief about not being "fire safe". My opinion is, at least in non-caged car, that I'm at more risk getting hot, having heat stroke, etc than catching fire. Could be wrong, of course. I did keep the AC in my track car :)

[@timlovick87]

For seattime 330i/130i is your best pick, turbos are just a liability if you don't have 5k on hand in case of issues. Also sedan is close in weight to coupe, pick cheaper option rather than looks, in case you bin it.

[@samsonian]

My only issue with the camera was its placement. If it had been mounted a few inches lower 1/3 of the frontal vision wouldn’t have been obscured. Otherwise, no complaints. People need to do it themselves if they expect everything to be perfect on a free video. (EDIT:) the 2nd lap was great, hopefully you didn’t need a change of clothes afterwards!

[@papapetad]

All that weight reduction work and no question about the weight 😐 my guess is 1300 with full tank but I wonder if it can reach 1250 or even less. Would be really cool to know.

[@FASTFAMILY]

Its 1160 half tank :)

[@papapetad]

@@FASTFAMILY Oh damn that's impressive. Pretty much a full 200kg below csl weight. I love the sensation of driving a stripped out car. Completely transforms the sensory perception. Best mod bar none.

[@VampyrMygg]

@@FASTFAMILY That is pretty light, modern cars can be real heavy, so seeing a modern car that isn't a small hatchback that is lighter than my old car is pretty cool, one example I have from the past was a 1985 Volvo 244DL I used to have, me and a friend in his Japanese "sportscar", a completely stock S13 200SX, which is the EU version, CA18T powered, we went to a weighing station and weighed our cars with us in them, my Volvo was lighter than the sportscar at around 1250kg, he was over 1300. My current Volvo 240 wagon, is around 1300kg. So a modern (to me) E46 with nearly 300hp, weighing under 1300kg... must be pretty nippy an fun to drive I imagine ^^ I mean, a modern Golf MK7 or MK8 can weigh close to 1500kg, pretty far from what the point of the MK1 was, I mean, my '76 Cadillac Coupe Deville, a giant 6 meter long, 2 meter wide 2 door coupe, is only like 400kg heavier than a modern Golf... and actually lighter than a Tesla :P Edit: That got rambly, sorry, ADHD makes things weird now and then.

[@davecom3]

​@@FASTFAMILY wow that's close to 500kg less than E46 M3. I have a 330ci with a shorter final drive. I was going to replace it with an E46 M3 but I couldn't get over how similar in performance the two are, despite the power difference. The M3 just felt heavier. Shorter final drive transforms the 330, particularly the midrange. It gives it the performance of 300hp car in the 80kmh - 120kmh range.

[@VampyrMygg]

I've only driven BMW with M20 engines, how are the M50 ones in comparison? are they like the old ones where nothing happens until the RPM gets high? so if you're not gearing down for things to keep RPM up you lose speed? I never managed to get used to that, well... mainly because I'm used to slow cars, but slow cars with torque, but the M50 engines seem to come in larger volumes, does it help with bottom end power?

[@haiiyouu]

that should be a M54B30 engine with a M50 intake Manifold, if the facts are right. 330i means Facelift (M54 engines), the biggest engine in the pre-facelift was the M52B28TU = 328i. The M50 Intake manifold is useful for both M52 and M54 engines as it increases air flow and is almost a bolt on.

[@7h3th1]

E46 such a capable chasis of bmw na inline 6s s54 looses the least power from age by far some high mileage stillness putting 300 to the wheel stock , compared to s50 from evo 2 e36 with almost same horse power but i seen some high mileage one making as little as 200 to the wheels , it could be because of engine specific ware and tear issues that were improved going from s50 to s54 both good engines nevertheless
