Still driving with M52B20? Do you use engine oil over filling? Stock oil pan and pick up aren't best for race use. With about 1 liter over filling you can live with it.
@@DominikFrohn Don't worry. You speak better english than me german. Actually, I am finnish. Driving around Nordschleife with M52B20 sounds much more cooler than doing same thing with B25 or B28 engine. 😁 Passing much powerful cars with small engine feels good. Have you ever measure your engine oil temp? I think oil temp are too high even using 10w-60 oil. Oil cooler might help that lifter ticking. BTW. Nice Driving. 👍👍👍
@@freak_is_already_taken Are you coming from Finland to drive on the Nordschleife? I love it when someone has passion. Yes, that's right, it's more impressive if you annoy a 325 with a 320 or even overtake other fast vehicles. But there are also situations that are annoying. You saw my engine failure? The rental Swift has power, but if you drive behind one and can't get past because it's driving a weird line, it can also be frustrating. The important thing is to stay calm and wait for the engine failure😉 Yes you're right, I may need an oil cooler. I haven't measured oil pressure and temperature yet
@@DominikFrohn No I am not but I want to. I Know people who have bought a track toys and keep them permanently in Germany. Then they fly to Germany and drive hard few days and after that fly back to Finland. We have in Finland quite many race tracks. After I have learned to known Finnish tracks better than my own pockets I am ready to Nordschleife. I have my own racecar. Original e36 318is Class II. Yes, I am stupid. I know it now. Swapping engine at the moment. It is a lot easier have 240hp from M52B20 than M42B18.
@@DominikFrohn hey Dominik, thanks for the answer! Did you have to modify anything to the fenders (front and rear) to make it fit? I just bought a e36 320i which I’m turning into a tracktool, super excited for it but also nervous since I have no experience with older cars 😆
@@thomasvanlooke225 tires fit. 235 the fenders have to be worked on or fender flares have to be installed. I drive a 235 40 17 and had to work on the fenders (fold the edges and widen them)
That package luckystrike at the door, like it 😂👌🏼

Meanwhile, M52B25.
Yes I fill over maximum with 10w60 because otherwise I had loud hydraulic lifters (no idea if that's the correct English term 😅)

Hi, which wheel sizes did you get? I read you have pro track 1, did you go for 7.5” et 30 or 9” et38?

Schön das er wieder läuft 🎉

Der Motor war nicht mehr zu retten. Die Pleuel sind bis Adenau geflogen 😅
