Dub, je laatste post daar is een beetje kinderachtig, als je daar goed leest is er 1 team dat echt raced en dat zijn de verkopers van de kit
Verder is dit wel een goede post waaruit blijkt dat er op 6,5 psi wordt gereden, dat is low boost( 0,44 bar), maar daar haal je echt geen 60% vermogenswinst mee, low boost is heel wat anders en op elk motorblok betrouwbaar.
Vraag maar eens wat ze doen op 20 psi

There is of course a different school of thought regarding upgrading parts for a longer service length. The fact is regardless, there is still an unknown service length for upgraded parts which can in turn affect the service lengths of other parts. FYI, when I rebuilt my engine (June 08), I opted for everything OEM for the engine internals. A decision that has caused bewilderment and ridicule among others. But at least I know what the service length is with a FI on OEM internals. That M54 with TM-12 6.5psi engine, my friend, lasted:
5 years
58 track events
105 track days
30k track miles
Buttonwillow (29), WSIR (18), Cal Speedway (9), Streets of Willow (4), Thunder Hill (1), Laguna Seca (1)
So since June 2008, I know if I go with the above reference, I can enjoy the car possibly for another 5 years given the number of track miles.
That said, it is important to set aside a budget for servicing. Too often, we focus on modifying/upgrading the car that we unintentionally ignored setting aside funds to maintain the car.
Je moet dus wel alles in perspectief zien, dit zijn dus trackmiles, haalt die dan het uiterste eruit? dat is niet te beoordelen en hij doet ook heel veel aan preventief onderhoud, erg verstandig, maar het zijn dus geen "racekilometers",verder nodig ik je nog steeds uit om met zon auto naar zandvoort, spa of assen te komen en kijken welke het het langste volhoudt.

Thanks Mr Paddle shift. You post sums it all up and underlines again my gutt feeling.
I think it goes without saying that when you take a car to the tracks, you should inspect and service it after the event. The fundamental dicussion was that a non BMW driver, "who has friends racing with BMWs", said you can't race with an FI BMW. I just couldn't believe it, after what i've heard on this forum since i have been a member. I have no race experience, but i have known the quality of BMW my whole life. You just can't compare durability of BMW with a seat, which the guy was actually doing.
By the way, after i had shown him all the answers and replies here, the only thing he could say is that none of you guys know what real racing is.
There are people who take a defeat in a discussion, sour losers and losers who become idiots. I'm afraid he falls in the last category. I guess that it was never a discussion to begin with, he already made up his mind.
I'm happy to give you the link, but it's in dutch:
vie...19650&start=25Discussion start with the answer of "bert // m3" and "luco".
thanks again for all the answers. I know enough. Now let's enjoy our FI's and let them dream about owning one.... And i'll dream of getting an M3 some day...
greetings,
Jeroen
Erg flauwe post dit er is hier door meerdere gezegd dat amerikanen een trackday en dragstrips al zien als "racen" ik zie nergens dat je daar gepost hebt wat ik onder racen verta, zo krijg je een erg gekleurd beeld, maar goed, omdat het allemaal zo bulletproof is raced iedereen met een bmw, ZONDER turbo

Dus ik denk dat er maar 1 idioot is
