Hey Omar, great video man. Thank you I have an idea, can you make a video talking about your experience at the track? What to expect, how much track time do you get? Is it an all day event? Do you bring your own lunch or do they sell food at the track? Do they sell gas at the track or would you need to leave and come back? I know each track may be different but from your experience what you’ve experienced. Thanks man.
YES! PFC08. Was recommended to me, and has been an awesome pairing with the motul 600. I’ve ran a few days at Laguna, which others claim is a heavy braking track and have had 0 issues. Pricey, but that’s why they work so well.
When I’m at Hockenhiem Ring I put my steering in comfort, it wear out your arms in Sport+. Nurburgring I put it in Sport+, doesn’t tire out my arms because the track is easier on braking and more time before turns. I use PowerStop Z26s... way better than Stock pads and zero brake dust.
I need to look into those pads man thanks for the tip! Comfort steering is definitely what im going to be using from now on. I ran it at the end of the day and it felt so much better on my arms. Sport+ steering feels unnecessarily heavy lol
For super grippy track tires my friends dad races champ car e30 with randy pobst and they both run Federal SS595s and they grip like crazy and super cheap too, tread wear is like 180 I think
I first watched your KW V3 install video and now wanted to see performance review. From what I read you should be on completely different rebound and compression settings. Softest setting is not meant to be run on the track. KW has street and track configurations set up for particular cars. Definitely look into that
I need to look into that! Im running linear springs on my KW V3 right now, it feels pretty good. Going in for alignment and corner balance this week too!
I’d say the biggest issue is tire compound. MDM is going off like crazy. Also that’s probably why you may have felt the pads overheating. Turn that ish off my dude
Agreed 💯%, MDM is more of a hindrance than a drivers aid at the track. I never take it off on the streets though. Really enjoyed the video and glad to see how careful you were at that first lap, not rushing it (while not being slow either) or being irresponsible. Always enjoy your vids about the M4, keep them going. 👍🏽👍🏽
Kinda late,but😅 Currently looking for a super fun track car(thats daily-able ig) and am killing myself over an M4 or an M6. I love everything bout the M4,especially its athletics!But the M6's twin turbo bent eight got me steals my heart everytime😂😍;Was wondering if there any way fro the M6 to match or even beat the M4's athleticism!! Any feedback is appretiated
Sounds like your car has alot of getup. With a little more time on the track driving, and some adjustments in the car, you're gonna see some improvement
No it actually cracked a few weeks prior to this from a car kicking up a pebble and hitting the windshield. I have a few more track events coming up so i'm not going to replace it until those are finished
How did your built M235i compare to your old M4 and current M4? I'm considering an M2C (due to size of chassis) or an M4 and wanted to see your thoughts on it. Did you consider a V8 (German or not) before buying a Bimmer? I'm also enticed by a C7 do to its track capabilities.
The C7 is an extremely good car for the track with a few proper mods. I just love BMW's for their looks, daily drivability, and performance. The S55 engine makes the car so fast too. The M235i was really fun on the street, but the M4 shines on the track in my opinion it feels more dialed in. But both can be really fast in the hands of a good driver and with some mods
That's tough bro. Overall I like Alpine White more, but silverstone showed off the lines of the car so well. They're my top 2 favorite standard colors for F8X
also the NASA guys will tell you, practicing with crap tires will make you a better driver. Learn to take those to their edge under control, then you move to more track oriented tires.
Hey Omar, great video man. Thank you

I know each track may be different but from your experience what you’ve experienced. Thanks man.
Thanks bro! Sure thing, i'll definitely make a video related to that, and make it super informative
no way you were here lmao this track is a 20 minute drive from my house
Damn! It was about a 2hr 30min drive for me
YES! PFC08. Was recommended to me, and has been an awesome pairing with the motul 600. I’ve ran a few days at Laguna, which others claim is a heavy braking track and have had 0 issues. Pricey, but that’s why they work so well.
That's great to hear! Yea that will probably be my next go-to once I run these pads through
Dope. Good track on GT Sport. Never been in real life though ha!
I played it a bunch on GT Sport the night before 😂
When I’m at Hockenhiem Ring I put my steering in comfort, it wear out your arms in Sport+. Nurburgring I put it in Sport+, doesn’t tire out my arms because the track is easier on braking and more time before turns. I use PowerStop Z26s... way better than Stock pads and zero brake dust.

Thor m flasher is a great tool for flashing steering to kill the dead zone which improves steering feel

Nice video. S55 never gets hot. Great cooling system.
Thanks! Yea it's phenomenal out the box
Did you run into Randy? Would be interesting to see what time he could put down with your M4 :-) The man is a living Legend
hahaha I wish man! Im sure he'd run circles around everyone in a stock M4 at this track
Omar awesome video you smashed it at the track just be careful of the crankhub 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thanks man!! definitely being careful out on track with it!
love the vid! cant wait to to my first trackday in my M4.Altho here in sweden it snows so it is gonna be in like 6 months :(
Thank you! You're going to love it, its an awesome car
I replaced my rear helper spring on my KW V3s and it made a world of difference
I need to look into that! Im running linear springs on my KW V3 right now, it feels pretty good. Going in for alignment and corner balance this week too!
Nice footage. I really enjoy these types of videos
Thanks man! Me too, glad you're enjoying the content
What's up man, I took my M4 to big Willow on the 17th, had a blast. Hmu next time you go we'll do a meet up.
Awesome man! Yea it's a ton of fun, definitely will do !
Track days!
Sick man that car is bad ass🇩🇪🔥
Really appreciate it bro! Thank you
I’d say the biggest issue is tire compound. MDM is going off like crazy. Also that’s probably why you may have felt the pads overheating. Turn that ish off my dude
I agree with you man, but i'm just so hesitant to disable MDM fully. I still feel like I need more experience before I disable all the driver aids.
Agreed 💯%, MDM is more of a hindrance than a drivers aid at the track. I never take it off on the streets though. Really enjoyed the video and glad to see how careful you were at that first lap, not rushing it (while not being slow either) or being irresponsible. Always enjoy your vids about the M4, keep them going. 👍🏽👍🏽

now we wait for your nurburgring reportage....great video...regards
thanks bro, maybe one day I could hit the ring! would be a childhood dream come true!
To this day I’m still set on buying a used M235i because of your review on it, after I finished paying off my ‘17 Elantra
That's awesome man! I wish you the best with picking one up
Loving the track content!!! Also random question, how dark are your tints?
Thanks man! Honestly i'm not sure, I picked up the car with the tint already installed I wanna say it's like 20% though
Are we not gonna talk about the crack on the windshield lol
I love this BMW content
Glad you're enjoying it!
Sounds like your car has alot of getup. With a little more time on the track driving, and some adjustments in the car, you're gonna see some improvement
Definitely! Im excited to see how I can improve with this car
Did it overheat ?
Hey Omar, great job!
Question....were you in MDM the whole time? Did you go full traction off at any point?
Thanks man! MDM was on the whole time, especially on this track i did not feel comfortable disabling it
why did the windscreen crack?
due to hard bumps on the track?
No it actually cracked a few weeks prior to this from a car kicking up a pebble and hitting the windshield. I have a few more track events coming up so i'm not going to replace it until those are finished
Don't know what throttle setting you used, but sport+ is way too stabby on this car, and the diff can snap quickly. Run in sport on the track.
Thanks for the tip, yea I had it in Sport+ and it's way too sensitive. I'm definitely gona run sport next time
Get the lap time transponder next time. It's worth the $20

what motor oil running? and stock crank hub for this one?
Stock crank hub, running Liqui Moly 5W-40
How many miles did your m4 have when you brought it? Any advice on max amount of miles to buy a m4 with. Thanks. Keep up the good work
I wouldnt worry about miles that much they're good cars. I got mine with 32k miles
Simply Car Things thanks for the feedback. Looking forward to the next video. Have a great day
Windshield cracked? What happened?
happened a few weeks ago, car in front of me flicked up a pebble and it smacked my windshield
What settings did you have on the car when it comes to modes? How about your traction control settings?
heard you mention MDM, but what about the engine, shifting, and steering modes?
Sport+ Throttle, Comfort Steering, MDM on!
Which do you like more: Silverstone or Alpine White?
That's tough bro. Overall I like Alpine White more, but silverstone showed off the lines of the car so well. They're my top 2 favorite standard colors for F8X
is there really any difference between an m3 and m4? also could you do a video on S4 Vs M3/m4
no the only difference is m3 is 4 door and m4 is two door thats it
@@saadalvi7608 thank you that’s what I thought lol
Yep pretty much the only real difference is the number of doors!
@@SimplyCarThings sweet thank you haha it’s on my radar for sure
M4 looks better
They let you out with that windshield?
of course!
Will you do crankhub fix
Yea but not anytime soon cause I have factory warranty on this car
!!!!
🥵
Bad driver = blame tires
Papa Omar with the 1:41.6 ... all I gotta say is I hope you're not that fast in the sack 😂😂
Jk
LMAOOO
my understanding is that this track eats cars. So I wouldn't be too upset with yourself for not pushing too hard.
also the NASA guys will tell you, practicing with crap tires will make you a better driver. Learn to take those to their edge under control, then you move to more track oriented tires.
learn to drift ur car, rather slide than mack
