My Ride: 2008 535i: June 6th start build, complete June 17th, at NY Port July 5th, at dealer July 10th, took delivery Friday July 13- Plantimum Bronze/Natural Brown Leather/Light Poplar, Sport Package, Sport Auto, Active Steering, Premium Package, CWP & PDC. Dinan Performance Software 384hp & 421 ft/lbs.
Back when I tracked my old car it was always recomended to run a couple of pounds pressure higher in the front than that back. That would help offset the built in understeer in BMWs. I saw that in one of the posts above and thought it was worth repeating. We also ran one side of the front higher than the other if the track had a lot more right hand turns than left. The higher pressure on the side that had the most use.
