had the car just over a week, decided to turn off the T/C today (well i assume thats what the DCT button does), never had a RWD car before and all i can say is - well its in the title, loadsa arse out stuff (the car not me) plenty fun and severly reduced life of the run flats, so no bad thing there then.

cant wait for the rain, then a trip to the body shop

18LLC · 09-05-2007, 12:14 PM

you got the car just over a week? and it's e90 330? used? anyway, have fun and be safe.

Z4 Beemer · 09-05-2007, 12:14 PM

I take it this wasn't on public roads

jasongtr · 09-05-2007, 12:18 PM

yes its used, 2005 E90 330i, always safe, like to drive quick but always safely(well as safe as you can be)

and also of course it was on a private road, i hired a runway at heathrow for a few hours to play on, caused holiday chaos but the ultimate driving machine had to be tested

Z4 Beemer · 09-05-2007, 12:26 PM

Wait till winter when we get a bit of snow/ice

... thats why its good to know the limits of your car/handling.

jasongtr · 09-05-2007, 12:30 PM

exactly, i always need to know how my cars react, did that in FWD and 4WD cars that i have had

booforty · 09-05-2007, 12:31 PM

Enjoy it, the E90 330i is a really good drivers car

jasongtr · 09-05-2007, 12:33 PM

needs to be a tad lower though

dxb335d · 09-05-2007, 12:57 PM

you wouldnt have de-activated it unless you held done for a good 5 seconds and it told you its ''fully diactivated''

Get some H&R springs like mine - a further 10mm lower the M Sport suspension and much firmer

jasongtr · 09-05-2007, 01:29 PM

beau - did you just change the springs or the shocks too?

carlos just pushed it and dct came up on the dash - is this a sort of half measure turn off, it definately did something, ill try it tomorrow with it pushed in for 5 secs

Z4 Beemer · 09-05-2007, 01:32 PM

Just a brief push switches on dynamic traction control - a half measure. As Carlos says you need to hold it in for about 5 secs

beau? LOL

Yeah, just the springs - £150. One of the best mods you can do!

jasongtr · 09-05-2007, 01:57 PM

ill be doing that very soon i think then, my car looks like it needs to go down more than 10mm though id say 20mm

booforty · 09-05-2007, 02:01 PM

If you get H&R race springs the car will drop to the same ride height as mine - check out the pictures in the link above. I can barely get my finger in between the top of the tyre and wheel arch

My E46 was like that... when the rear springs broke

The running in is a killer at the moment, no WOT, keep to 3500rpm and under 90!

jasongtr · 09-05-2007, 02:09 PM

you do have 18s though mine are just 17s

booforty · 09-05-2007, 02:17 PM

Yeah 18"s

dxb335d · 09-06-2007, 06:27 AM
