New to Autocross; advice please :)
Hey all,
I'm brand new to this forum as well as brand new to BMWs. I just started autocross and am curious what you would suggest for performance upgrades. I'm not looking for much, just some basic things to start with. I have a '08 335i stock without the sports package. Thanks! |

Seat time.
Or if you can afford it, a coach in your passenger seat.

you don't need anything for auto-x. just go and drive.
but personally, I find road courses a much better time and $ investment when it comes to fining your driving skills and learning your cars limit. tried out a few auto-x session at my local bmwcca chapter. all i remembered was waiting all day for 5-7 mins of seat time while man handling our +3600lb cars on some courses that is more suited for mini's and e30...

Autocross is fun on big enough courses. We run mile and a half courses here, which is a blast.
Best 2 things IMO for autocrossing, would be tires, then LSD. After that, FMIC, M3 Control arms and a stiffer sway bar. But I would also suggest running a few completely stock first, so you can find the limits yourself, and decide which to do first.
