Izmit Race Track (Türkiye) with E89 3.5i sdrive

cevikfidan · Post by **cevikfidan** » Thu Aug 31, 2023 12:27 pm

On August 29, we organized a track day as a company at the "İzmit Race Track" in Turkiye and I attended with my own stock E89 3.5i. I placed second in the general classification in the race, in which vehicles of quite different types and models participated (There was 0.3 seconds between me and the 1st. It was quite a fun day.

We will organize the second of this race on October 29, and if any of you are in or near Turkey, we are waiting for you.

P.S.: I will share the other videos and event photos of the track day soon.

always fun getting cars on track - and even better not having any rain to worry about!

I did a total of 48 laps, my best time was 55.6 seconds. Tires and brake pads are completely gone. But I have ordered all pads and they will be replaced tomorrow. The tires were already bridgestone potenza, a brand I was never satisfied with and I wanted to change them. Do you have any suggestions about this?

Welcome to the forum with your smart E89.

It sounds like you had a great time. Hopefully you'll find that extra 0.3 of a second now after you bin the horrible Bridgestone runflats!

I have not been on track much but the few times I have been it's was good fun. Interesting colour choice, is that a wrap or paint job?

I am the 2nd owner of the car. The first owner is a well-known businessman in Turkiye and he has all his BMWs specially ordered in the same color (urban green). You should see his collection All BMW cars including the M3, M4, M6 Grand Coupe and E86 3.0SI are the same color.

I'm glad I consulted you on the forum and bought good year tires. Today I drove 100 km and it was like I was driving on clouds.
