The big brake kit on a track like this can only positively influence the confidence of a driver (and maybe the amount unsprung mass but they didn't talk about and it the new kit probably isn't any lighter).

You can actually get very decent horsepower with this totally stock turbo this has. I know one of identical 330d's and it was remapped in 2004 when its owner bought it new and has been rocking 350hp/750nm since then. This actual car has been driven with remap now over 1 million kilometers. I spoke to the owner and he said that everything else handles the power quite well, except the clutch if you overtake using the low end torque. Said that you could ruin the clutch with one overtake with that kind of torque it has. I actually have thought about buying that actual car. It is truly one very well maintained high mileage hero. :)

The music for this series is freaking on point.

Even the big brake makers say stopping while hot doesn't cause warping. Instead, it causes hot pad material to cook onto the rotor, creating a high spot which later causes the pedal pulsations many attribute to warping.

The problem with adding better brakes and expecting a better lap time right out of the gate, is that you've gotten used to the car and have a subconscious expectation of what it will do. You have to actively think about braking later into every corner and staying in the loud pedal long enough to really tighten some sphincters. And that's a lot harder than one might think.

Marco Rocha in my experience (20 years of track days and modding) braided lines are always a good idea. They’re not going to give you any real extra stopping power but eliminating the possibility of the brake lines expanding under heavy hydraulic forces gives a much nicer pedal feel - particularly at the end of long straights where braking forces are maximized. My first track car (1992 Pulsar GTI-R back in 1999) had two brake upgrades while I had it: 330mm front and 300 rear discs (separate bells and rotors, all grooved and drilled) with 4-pot Jag callipers front and standard callipers rear with various pads and braided lines. Then 335mm front and 300mm rear rotors (drilled and grooved with aluminium bells) with 4-pot billet Hi-spec callipers front and 2-pot calipers rear. Again - braided lines all round plus some strengthening to the master cylinder mounts to eliminate pedal flex. That car had a LOT of stopping force for the time (almost 20 years ago) so while I was never the fastest car on the track, not much could out-brake me. It was pretty common for other drivers to tell me they thought I’d have it into the gravel, only to see my brake lights go off before turn-in. :) I remember it took a long time to find one of the only sets of 17x7” alloys that had the right inside clearances to fit everything in them and even then, you literally couldn’t put a credit card with its embossed numbers between the outside face of the front calliper and the inside face of the wheel spokes!! :)

If you look at 5:29 they have "performance" brake lines in the background (most likely steel braided). They just didn't talk about them

I have an E46 328i and i love those video, it's a great way to see what i need to add to my santa letter :D

Love this series! Can you do two changes per episode? Keeps things interesting strip the interior and a remap 👌🏼👍

Maybe the next step should be upgrading your stopwatches, maybe put a camera at the track endline:))) peace

You could put a wing on it

Hmm well it would be Extra weight but the downforce would be good for extra grip and handling for turns but straight aways would slow the car down so not worth it.

Hey CarThrottle I love your videos they are quality content

this channel has come a really long way, i remember when you only uploaded videos about facts and shit, keep it up!

- get an upgrade turbo and tune in properly in the dyno not some chip stuff so that thing will be around 500nm - dont forget the intercooler -Egr and dpf off. - use high performance diesel ( mayne its actually useful) - engine and fuel cleaner additive -Also clean the inlet manifold. - Change gearbox oil and diff oil and add some ceramic additive - get a shortshifter With all that you w -

I always see these bad mans driving around with there fog lights on in day time could you answer my question. Dose the car go faster with fog lights on or fog lights off would be interesting to find out. Don’t take it seriously it’s a joke

I installed that exact setup on my race E30 last month! People have been very down on EBC but probably don't appreciate that compounds change over the years. I've found them absolutely fine. Quick note on the allen key screws - these are a nightmare for rounding off. Soak them in penetrative fluid the day before, or get an impact driver you hit with a hammer. These are awesome!

I was thinking of getting the yellow stuff pads for my f10 530d, I've been watching a lot of videos on youtube and reading a lot of comments, and the info coming from real people that use them on their own cars and not some corporative review throwing specs from a piece of paper, really help me a lot making my decision. Thanks!

Informative without any ego wank. Great channel
