What an amazing team and love watching you pushing the car !

Last lap was superb! Great job! Really!

The aero kit is looking good , cant wait for the release of final produce.

Amazing car !!! Great work , Congratulations !!!!!

Well done guys. Love seeing these videos with data

I didn't think someone would make me rethink selling my track prepped F87...but I'm gonna be following this closely. Solid work, great video!!!

Absolutely love it!

Nice job guys , the car look awsome.

Jackie your M2 is GOALS!. I Look forward to seeing you break some crazy times!!

wow to me this actually makes the new m2 beautiful

The car looks amazing

Jackie was flying! especially on the last lap with 11.6 looked on the absolute edge. The aero setup is actually better than expected almost 2 secs faster than non-aero on such as short track is very impressive. Once Jackie get some more track time and car fine tune it wont be long until some wins start coming in.

Still early days with the car I think. Much like how the Supra became a noticeable amount faster with an even more extreme aero package, I think the M2 can benefit from a lot of those, plus more setup time too!!

quick question, why is the engine setting at comfort?

I had no interest in the G87 with the looks, screens, and added weight. I figured it wasn't worth offing my f87 for. But with this aerokit, the car is transformed, looks like a factory race car I love it! Might have to start shopping....

Didn’t like the car’s design initially. Man this car looks insane with all the aero with lowered stance

Jimmy “High-Yaw” Digs

Wouldn't a rear-biased aero downforce cause understeer? Maybe reducing rear wing angle a bit (thus reducing rear downforce) would result in better balance? It could also make the rear a bit looser and easier to rotate. Either that or increase front downforce, but that would be more difficult (add rake while reducing rear wing angle)?

@BoostdPanda

7 ай бұрын

You have to consider aero balance being a dynamic thing. Most of the CFD usually only shows a static calculation. However IRF, slightest change in car’s pitch(ie under braking), body roll, cross wind, etc etc. will change the actual aero balance of the car. So having a slightly rear-bias aero balance(typically 5-10% more in the rear) is usually better for driver confidence since it makes the car more predictable under different circumstances.

time for some horsepowerrrr also possibly a better sounding exhaust 😅

Would a less aggressive TC setting help with getting some free-ness back in the rear?

@JackieDing86

Yes I think so. However I was really trying to feel the car in terms of balance-wise instead of just resorting to heavy right foot hah. That’s more of a bandaid than a permanent solution.

Hey I noticed your driving with the power train in efficient what’s the reasoning behind that?

Copy pasted from earlier comments: So the reason why I prefer the comfort setting on engine is the aggressive throttle pedal that comes with sport/sport+. It’s great fun on the street but when you need smooth inputs on track and especially to not upset the rear tires in traction zones, it becomes very tricky. Ideally I want Sport + but with comfort setting’s throttle pedal mapping. TLDR I need the opposite of a pedal commander

while i still think the plain jane G87 looks disgusting on street. I must say it needs bonker aeros to suit the design, looks way better now.

I don't understand when people say that the standard car doesn't look good. The new standard M2 is absolutely stunning in every style aspect. It is not only the best looking BMW car ever, but it's one of the best looking cars that you can find on the market today. The modifications really don't add much but they are OK.

This is just our first version of the aero, meant to be suitable for both street and track uses. Yes of course the *wing* could be bigger but aero balance is actually critical. Huge wing means less balance and that means likely slowly lap times.
