The Nurburgring King - TPS Performance’s M2 Comp, Cooled by CSF
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com …Ran by none other than TPS Performance’s M2 Competition. TPS Performance had ran an impressive time of 7:22 in their non-Competition M2 – so they had to return with their modded M2 Comp. to attempt to beat it, and that they did. Watch the video here: The car features KW Competition 3-Way adjustable suspension, Michelin semi-slicks, a tune, and is pushing 520 horsepower. When going for a new record, ideally, the car’s setup, the conditions, and the driver’s knowledge of the track are all in-line. While the car and the driver, Alex Hardt, had two of these three things covered, the weather was a different story. Alex claimed the day of this run was the hottest he had ever experienced on the track, with an ambient temperature of 98°F/36°C. Fitted with CSF’s 3-piece cooling package, the car’s IATs were kept in check and heat soak wasn’t an issue – allowing for consistent power delivery throughout the entire run, and helping the TPS Performance team to their new lap record of 7:12.

CSF Cooling : This is a really impressive accomplishment. Equally impressive is how collected and planted the car looks throughout the lap. The combo of driver and car almost make it look easy. Comfort is not a priority when building a dedicated track car. They clearly know how to dial in a suspension. I'm hoping you can reach out to them for an answer to the following:
Where do you believe you could place a car, within the above lap times, that is also comfortable to DD and take long trips? I know this a subjective question. I think the answer could be extremely useful when setting expectations and coming from a group this knowledgeable adds weight to the response. Thanks |

What does the Apex M3 do? So about 10K for suspension set up, plus wheels and tires 10-13K, hood 3-9K, rear spoiler 4K, rear trunk in CF ?3-4K tune 600, cooling, intake, radiator and tranny (3-4K), likely Tom Schirmer door cards (4K) Racing seats (5-7K) Front splitter (1-2K) Exhaust titanium (akra 3-7K) Cage 3-5K Correct me if I am wrong but well over 55 K in mods. very Impressive that it did not have much understeer, very decent set up. Driver was very good too. What is funny is the dudes that polish our their CSF charge coolers and their cars just see the detailing bay, camera flash, let alone the road or track. Dare I say seldom 7K RPM but only for IG. LOL Very decent run - still feel an equally prepared M4 would do way better. Last edited by Ghostriderf80; 05-25-2020 at 08:41 AM.. |

It is important for people to realize this is a BTG lap. While 7:12 isn’t bad at all, it isn’t that impressive given the modifications. It is also far from being faster than a 991 GT3 that did the Supertest lap in about the same time. There’s 20~30 seconds of difference between a BTG lap and a supertest lap, which is used by most manufacturers to post their times. You need to get your facts straight.

It is true that it was done on a hot day in traffic. The only takeaway here IMO is that we can’t draw any conclusions from it.

For example, KW V3 don't cost 10k. And an M4 GTS wing for more downforce is currently $700 from Suvneer, why would you pay 4k for it?

Here is a list of parts on that car. GTS-Heckflügel in Carbon 3-stufig verstellbar Spoilerschwert von MTC KW Clubsport 3-fach Gewindefahrwerk HRE Performance Wheels R101 LW 19 Zoll in 9,5x19 ET25 und 10,5x19 ET35 Farbe: Brushed Dark Clear Akrapovic Evolution Line aus 100% Titan TurboPerformance Softwareoptimierung auf 430 PS und 620 NM GTS-Schubabschaltung GTS-Getriebesoftware Carbondach im M4 Look GTS Carbon Motorhaube Wasser-Methanol Einspritzung HJS Downpipe 300 Zellen Endless Bremsbeläge VA/HA Evolity Stahlflex-Leitungen Recaro Pole Position im GTS-Style Wiechers Clubsport-Bügel Schroth 4-Punkt Gurte Awron Datendisplay Lenkrad in Alcantara und roter 12-Uhr-Markierung EVENTURI Carbon Ansaugsystem Türen-Innenverkleidung aus Carbon Sure the wing you like is made of- Build material: fiber-reinforced polymer & glossy carbon fiber overlay for 699 usd. Cheap stuff that is no TUV approved is unlikely to make it on that car. If you like going cheap quality its your choice (remember the guy who lost his legs in South Africa while racing his M3. ) Look wise I am sure you can get the car to the same level for significantly less. Ebay is a great source. LOL Anyhow mate, don't get offended. Look for genuine or race proven parts. After all I am pretty sure you would not be tossing on eBay parts on a GT2 RS to call it MR simply for the look. Last edited by Ghostriderf80; 05-25-2020 at 02:39 PM.. |

The OG m2 from lap time performance did a 7:22 BTG with a stock tune, stock cooling, manual gear box, okish tires (alot less grip than the sport cup 2's on the m2C) and stock brakes all in worse traffic. So alot less power and less performance mods, imagine what the OG m2 can do with more power and better brakes and better and wider tires.
KW Clubsport triple chassis OZ Leggera HLT 9x20 & 10x20 DUNLOP SP Sport Maxx 245/30 ZR20 & 265/30 ZR20 LAPTIME spoiler lip GT4 LAPTIME rear wing GT4 with high feet REACRO pole position ABE SCHROTH Profi II-FE asm belts AKRAPOVIC Evolution exhaust system LITEBLOX battery Design foil "turbo" (These are decals that say turbo, not a turbo upgrade) So imo that m2C's laptime is not too impressive factoring how heavily it was modded, how much better its tires were, the fact it was a DCT, compared to lap time performance's lightly modified manual OG m2 in heavier traffic too. No disrespect to CSF their products are superb, but imo the M2C's laptime is good but not extraordinary or anything.

Nothing, but they still have internal rubber seals which can still melt on the track. They're relatively solid brakes, but still lack the things that make top tier brakes the best, such as the slotted pistons to prevent heat transfer, internal seals to prevent them from melting, anodized coating to prevent paint fade, still not as stiff as AP racing for example etc.

I don't know about you, but for me I have disintegrated the seals on every single car I owned taking them to the track because the brakes simply could not withstand the heat. I also had an m235i and those brakes not only had their seals destroyed but the color changed from blue to dark green (the m2C's silver would likely tarnish and turn dark grey or black), I'm sure the same would occur to the m2 but I haven't taken mine to the track yet. My m235i also experienced sevre brake fade which was solved when I got a BBK, so yes a larger brake kit would help. So yes these improvements would absolutely benefit someone who can push their car hard on the track. Edit- I also meant to say that the 2NH are not bad at all, they probably have little to zero fade vs. the stock blue brakes, they will just experience damaged seals and color fading over time.

Also its track dependent. Some tracks require a lot more braking in short time periods than others. My pad wear at Zolder was twice as high as most other tracks for example. Zolder has 3 chicanes that you approach with 160-200kmh or so.
