BMW Drag Racing Standings

I have 15" e30 m3 rims coming my way Kenny. You tell me what rubber is legal for "the list" and that's what I will purchase and run!

Get ready to grind the hell out of your rear calipers if your running the stock M3 ones.

I read somewhere that it needs a "slight grind"............. I ground down the calipers for like 2 hours and I still cut the inner E30 M3 rim.

Click on the link in my sig for the info for best fitment for drag racing (OEM bodywork and best known):

Unfortunately you only have a Mickey Thompson Street Radial. What about a full slick mate? I don't want no cunt of a street radial!

Those calipers are only for drag racing. I run BBK Stoptechs otherwise.

Nobody has posted up yet! I think Mickey Thompson ET Drag 26x8.5-15 would go close to fitting.

Nice! Somebody check that out for me. Hell I will jsut get them and try them on a car at Extreme Motorsports to see if it fits under stock bodywork.

Andres, you're sure ... stock bodywork .. no tricks ... 255/50 R16?

Kenny, 100% Stock Suspension, 100& stock body work. Will not work properly on a lowered car without modifications.

That's what stopped me from putting some nice rubber on my E30 M3 wheels. Eventually I'll grind the suckers down but not yet. And I'd like a nicer 15" wheel anyway.

I have 2 more 16" wheels I'm planning on mounting 26x10.5 ET Drags on when my car is up to par.

Go John .. 11.8 @ 121 MPH

Then I recommend "polished" calipers.

[MrBlonde]

Congratulations Mike! 11.6 @ 131 MPH

Kenny,
Awesome thread. You guys are taking Bimmers where the designers never intended...and that's killer!

I saw an earlier posting that you were thinking of keeping a list for us non-FI guys. Is that true? If so, where? Search brought up nothing. Inquiring minds would like to know!

Thanks, there is no separate list fo NA cars, however NA cars are welcome to join the list if they can run 11.999 or quicker.

[Gibber66]

Bummer. Highly unlikely I'll ever break 12s w/o FI and substantial financial support (LOL). You guys keep paving the way and I'll live vicariously...drooling from the sidelines. ;^)

Cheers,
Gibber

Who in their right mind would EVER try to do that!!!

Time for someone to gut the hell out of an e30 and fully build a crazy high compression m70 or something for it.

Congratulations Mike! 11.6 @ 131 MPH

Thanks, hopefully i can get a lower 11 w/ better 60' time. I am still running a street tire Falken rt615 235/40/18 so a low 11 on street tires would be awesome. I also ran a 11.756 @124mph when i was on 15lbs of boost when a had a 2.0 60'. if i could get a 2.0 60' running 21psi it would be a huge difference. at 17psi i dynoed 602whp so i will have to seen what i dyno at 21psi.

I dunno Adam ;-)

[hockey]

i just ran a 9.1@153

[MrBlonde]
