The F80 M3/M4 has a horizontal oil cooler where the front lip skid plate should be. When you scrape it, engine goes boom.

well $2000 get lots of Chinese parts that don’t work, or the $2000 could be used for tow truck rides

#5390

Haha, WTF?!?! I read through the first page and lost interest afterwards but can someone educate me on why the radiator is parallel to the road?

Whats the science behind this?

#5391

Really poorly thought out layout for that. Regarding the orientation, as long as air flow moves through the core it’ll work fine. Looks like they designed the bumper and skid plate to draw air through the core.

That was incredible I forgot to thank West for posting that gem.

The designer the same on the v8 turbo cars too but because they have more ground clearance (X56) on the trucks it wasn’t an issue. The M5/6 however have had this happen but not as much and those are not as forumy platforms as the M3/4 so we didn’t hear about it.

The M3/4 however is super low (relatively) and the negatives of that design really show up.

It’s shockingly bad.

The end result is each case has been the same:

  1. Car drives over something on road (tire chunk or chunk of ice etc)
  2. Oil cooler gets pierced and car dumps oil
  3. Driver pulls over immediately
  4. Engine seizes immediately
  5. Car goes into safety mode in Park and can’t be put in neutral… Thus can’t be towed so hilarity ensues trying to get it onto flatbed (one guy sprayed loads of wd40 on the flatbed and winched the car on, sliding it up the greased plank)
  6. BMW says ‘grab your ankles and pray your insurer will cover the damage’.
  7. Insurer pays $40,000 for new engine replacement, and then dumps you from coverage because the car is so risky

Guys are terrified to lower their cars now for two reasons… Increased likelihood of this happening and possibility of insurance rejecting claim and blaming being lowered. Some were making appointments to go back to stock suspension.

dat hood crease doe. The front end is so well thought out, right down to the halogen turn signals which will be replaced in 3 years under BMW free maintenance.

Great he’s in NE Ohio… Maybe I’ll see him at Thompson with his race car… I won’t hold my breath though…

#5403

So he wants to build a car more powerful than a McLaren P1 but more reliable on a shoestring budget to save money. Good luck with that.

#5404

wait… you’re in NE ohio? where at?

LMFAO
