Thanks! The winner did a 2:01.9. This is a strange configuration of this track that isn't usually run though, so I'm not sure what a "normal" time would be.
Spec suspension is a little soft, both in sorting rate and shock valving. Still, handling is very predictable and good fun to drive. A touch on the oversteer side.
@@luxaeternae E46 330i is about the same speed as an E36M. They are very similar in a lot of ways. E46M is significantly faster than either of them. Of course if you start doing engine swaps, etc, the 36 can be just as quick.
@@mikebeale1685 I don't know if you saw video from Roval from few moths ago with Martini NC and your E46 but it is there on my chanel. It was lot of fun , I'll be at Roval for NASA event on 21st.
Seriously impressive driving. On the edge of my seat the whole time.
Thank you! Check out the NASA Nationals at COTA for an even better race :)
Everyone: Don't lift!!!
Nik: Grabs the next gear
It's kind of the opposite here. I was told to leave it in 5th for Riverside, but I felt like 4th was faster.
Dude, you were wheeling that thing! It seemed like you were in an upper class car.
Thank you! Mike's car is definitely well put together, but I promise it's in the right class :)
Watching in 2021. Hell of a drive.
Thank you!
LOL!!!!! 4:24 look at someone in your rearview … i think he gonna love to off-road a bit 🤣
Awesome driving! Saw the all thing just cheering 👍
What an eventful race and a stellar driving! Regret notifications WAS not yet ON for his channel.
Thanks man! Glad you like it. If you want to see what might have been my best race ever, check out the Nasa Nationals at COTA Supercut.
That looks so much fun! Great driving! What times do these cars usually run?

So just the addition of star mazda corner? Sweet! Awesome driving. Now I need an E36
Addition of star Mazda and subtraction of bus stop. So now entering riverside in 5th.
This is a 46, but I agree that 36s are cooler 😬
very good driving, even watching this video is fun for me
Thank you!
Awesome driving! What steering mods those cars have? It looks way quicker than a regular E46
Thank you! The steering is totally stock on these, just suspension, diff, and engine tune.
AWESOME Nik!! Well done.
Good luck 👍race 🏁
Great track, beautiful e46
That was so good 👌👌👌 So did you just miss the podium by several couple of 1/10?
Thank you! Yep, almost made it. Another lap or two, and who knows?
are you using straight cut gears? if so, how come they're so quiet?
No, it's a stock ZF 5-speed manual. Totally unchanged from the street car.
Amazing drive. Can you recommend a spec e46 for Assetto Corsa? There’s a pay mod but I wanted to get your opinion.
That's the one I have. It's a really high quality mod, definitely recommend.
@@NikRomanoRacing Thanks man. Appreciate the info.
Superb driving!!! 👌
Lot of fun! Good driving, but it’s not “Streets of Willow”. It’s Buttonwillow.
Realized the mistake after I already posted it...oh well!
Nice run Nik
Thanks John!
damn good driver! got me itching to get on the track
Thank you! What's holding you back? Track days are back in full swing almost everywhere.
Which diff ratio are you running? 3.46?
I just assumed that there was a spec ratio for SE46. Either way, I'm not sure!
awesome content, keep it up!
Stellar driving. We'll have to run a piece on this.
I thought you might like it! The spec suspension makes these things a bit on the Rotaty McSlideyboi side of things.
i raced my aunt in her 09 Mini Cooper once ,the classic Dollar Store Sprint
Next, convince your aunt to bring the Mini to the track!
How did you like the car? How's the set up, dampers etc?

More intertaining than F1 ahah
alright wheelman we see you
😘
Very nice driving. only 13 min. Lemons drivers stay out 2hours.
Thanks! This was just a quick quali race. I also race in WRL, where we do double (and sometimes triple!) stints in our E36s.
@@NikRomanoRacing Heck yeah that's awesome. What do you think E36 versus E46. ?

is the difficulty mode on medium? set it on expert next time!!!! aww shyx ... this is in real life!!! youre just driving like its a video game....
Lol! I'll make sure to check the settings next time.
More e46 race videos please
Hopefully I'll be racing one in October!
So despite being called 46 the car's favorite gear is 5
It's definitely not 3rd.
👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾💯🤣💪🏾
That is not streets of willow foo
Oosp
Nik is quick even when he’s not quite sure where his is. :)
