2005 BMW M3 E46 - A Class - Posted by: rubber dukky

This BMW is an overall every circuit car. It posts up pretty fast times when you get used to it. All you need is finesse with the throttle. The car was tuned for the controller but may work well with the wheel. ALL THE SETUP NUMBERS THAT ARE IN BLUE IS USED FOR SHORTER TRACKS. Basically, the car needs some minor modifications for tracks like Mugello, Laguna Seca, Tsukuba, etc. Save the red setup as "long track" and the blue setup as "short track" so that the car can be competitive on all circuits. Any setup that isn't marked in blue is the same as the red. enjoy =]

Thank you for choosing rubber dukky tuning. If you happen to improve upon my setup, please inform me if you want. The BMW wasn't intended to be the fastest on one given track but any track you put it on. Please reply to this post of any suggestions and if you like the setup, suggest what car I should tune next for the racing setup database. For my next car I shall try the BMW M3 E30 for short tracks. Thanks again. All tuning was thought up and put into account by rubber dukky (me).
