Laptime on Zandvoort is 1.53.6 fastest but we did some mods afterwards so i hope we get into the 1.52 now. And that is with an original engine and ecu under the hood.

Here is some inboard footage.

YouTube - 130i Zandvoort

So you can see the car is only made lighter but under the hood it s an orginal bmw car. Nothing changed there. And that s the beauty of it. This is what i wanted to point out. AG made a fantastic car but i would like see something from ///M which can be made into something like i did with the 130i. A good base car.

Can I make my babybimmer look like that and at the same time be allowed driving on public streets? It would be awesome.

Adevo, do you have any performance numbers for your race 130i?

 

[AdvEvo]

It has aproxx 272hp with racecats.

Damn, that's a lot of work done to the car. Just the roof itself would've taken a while. I might've missed this, but what series do you race in?

 

[AdvEvo]

I did 130i cup racing in holland. We use the car now for Fun sprint races and trackdays.

 

[NarutoRamen]

^^That's pretty cool man.

M Division : The Road Ahead

BMW Active Aerodynamics

First showcased on the GINA Concept Car - A car that was way ahead of it's time and key component in the BMW Efficient Dynamics programme.
In principle to reduce drag and boost downforce and lower fuel consumption. Special Aerodynamic aids that will move automatically incorporated in the front of the car including the outeredge of the wheel arches , front bumpers and within the grille intake. Mini Turbines are incorporated in the grille which convert drag under braking into electricity.

KERS (Kinetic Energy recovery System)

The new M5 will spearhead a radical addition to further reduce consumption. Conceived well within when BMW were still commencing with their F1 Programme. With KERS developed for the F1 car , BMW also created a synergy for an application of such a system to a road car.
Successfully applied to the Road Car division the KERS developed by M division consists of an on-off-on again programme involving
Twin Parallell Supercapacitors between the driveshaft providing 10 sec power boost at the press of a button. The idea is to have stored up the energy and allow the driver to unleash the power on demand. An adaption of this idea will feature in the six cylinder Active Hybrid 5 Concept Car that will be shown in Geneva in March 2010.
Tests carried out within the confines of BMW's private proving grounds are ongoing as the KERS is relatively new tech. The development of the new car remains in status.

Wow, that's some nice innovations right there! Mini turbines you say? Unless they are bigger than the average hair blower fan, I remain sceptical to the functionality of this. Rather skip the electrical conversion and use the incoming flow for cooling and of course increased downforce on demand. None the less, I like this type of innovation a lot!

Super capacitor hybrid sports saloon, now that's a first. I'm very curious what the weight of the hybrid system is, knowing the usual batteries are usually the heaviest component of such a system. The power button will become very notorious, in a good or bad way I'm not sure. Maybe it's better off to let the power management use the stored energy for improved cornering or passing by measuring the gas pedal angle. We will see when the Active 5 concept debuts
