Bedford Trackday in BMW M3 Competition Package
Shot a while back now - my first track day with the M3. Car was great apart from the brakes (something I've sorted now). Was interested to see at the beginning how got on with TC on (in interests of research). Skip to about 15 mins to see it all a bit quicker.
And yes I know the brakes wouldn't have been helped by having the TC on!!

Set the idrive to show the sports displays rather than nav/phone book next time 😂😉
got my first track day coming up in my m2 and was going to run ferodo pads and just change to dot4 break fluid. what was your set up? oem pads and braided hoses? i do like bedford, great learning ground drove an m4 there with carbon ceramics, they were amazing.

I'm now running Pagid RS29's with braided hoses and 710 Racing Fluid. Much better.

I've had 2 days at Bedford and was thinking about upgrading to AP/Brembos. Do you think just changing the pads and fluid will suffice? Could put that money toward better dampers :) Also would you mind letting me know where you found them? Thanks

Hard question. Personally I'd sort the dampers before anything else but some might think otherwise. I'd love a big brake kit but I just can't justify the cost at the moment. The Brembo pads lasted longer than standard but still weren't great. Pagids, fluid and hoses are pretty good - a world away from stock. I'm probably going to fit the Revozport brake cooling system before next track day in a few weeks. It's the cooling that's the issue. I'm probably going to Cup 2's as well which will only make things worse. Brake bits I got from Martin at raceparts.biz - really knowledgable chap that supplies a lot of the BTCC teams.

Firstly thanks for your videos, I watched them before getting my m3 comp pack in Feb and don't regret it. I'm still learning to exploit the car for what it is and it's been a fun learning process. I would love cup2s but I thought they don't do them in the 265s that we have at the front? I also powder coated my wheels in black which I have been told might be affecting heat dissipation, hence after 3 track days I've almost warped my front brakes! Will have a word with Martin thanks again. Would love to see a new trackday video with your new mods.

Off to Bedford next month so will make sure I take some cameras. I have a set of black 19' M437 wheels which I'll be using for the Cup 2's!
Enjoyed the video, top work! Would hope a set of carbon ceramic disks would have solved your issue with the brakes.

Problem is I track the car regularly and I can't afford to be replacing disks. Have solved the problem now.
