@Mini135i I know you run track set up with DSC off - wondering if you ever tried running in MDM mode (sport+ without pressing the DSC off) on the track?
if so, do the nannies intervene a lot since you are running a square set up? If not, maybe trying it for a session next track day! I've been doing my research and some say DSC will intervene while others are saying DSC is adaptive and should (in theory but not proven) adapt to the new set up and not intervene much in MDM mode. I have a thread on this in the track section of this forum: link: http://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1344556 |

Well, I have tracked the car with MDM on (sport +) with the OEM wheels and tires. Tried it when I first got the car. And although that is not the exact answer to question asked it will provide some perspective.
Even with the stock wheels and tires, for me, the MDM mode is extremely intrusive when driving on the track. However, I have been driving track for over 15 years so my perspective is just that, I am very used to driving cars relatively quick around the track without any computer interference. So even the slightest computer interference slows me down and decreases my connection with the car. Now if it rains, I'm the first to slow down and turn MDM back on Can the car be tracked with MDM on, you bet. In fact, most would agree it is a good starting point, others just stick with MDM for more safety, nothing wrong with that. Personal preference. Will there be a big difference in the square setup compared to stock wheels? No, not that much. The higher the level (increasingly faster) of your track experience the more the MDM will intrude, simple as that. Wheels/tires within reason are not a factor. I have driven the car incredibly hard on a secluded street with the square set up and MDM on, it might be 1-2% more sensitive than the stock wheels, but in the end, both set ups will work on the track just fine. My E46 M3, and E92 M3 were all the same with square set ups too, no issues. IMHO, I seriously would not even worry about it. If you are getting computer interference with the square setup, you'll get it with the stock setup too. MDM just interferes very early, just how it is Hope that somehow helps... |

Hmm. Like the price of those trm wheels.
21.85 lbs each wheel. How much do the stock wheels weigh? Interested in this wheel&tyre package.

Please do report back...I'm at this decision point right now...about to get track wheels/tires, and another $200 in transponders is a bit of a fun sucker. Particularly if not necessary... Last edited by rjn; 02-24-2017 at 07:07 AM.. |

Are the TRMotorsport C4's direct fit without a centering ring or spacer?
How many track miles have various people put on these? They look like the way to go. I've just never heard of the company, and I've seen threads with other less-known manufacturers prone to cracking/bending etc. |

Tire Rack has been selling this brand for over a decade now and have had very good results for track use. Any wheel can bend or crack if abused properly, although we have had very little problems with TRM wheels. I believe there was some discussion of this earlier in this thread as well. |
