Hi Jeremy,
If you have a sport package, you have sport springs. They typically lower the ride height a little and increase the stiffness from the standard springs, so your car handles better (and therefore you get points added in the classifier)
For the 2-series, there are 3 transmission options:
6-Speed Manual, 8-Speed auto, 7-speed DCT auto
Since you have the 8 speed, you have the automatic. All BMW automatics from the
early/mid 2000’s are Steptronic (meaning you can put it in “Manual” mode and electronically shift the gears).Hope this helps!

Hey Brian,
On AAA for Sept, Victor Fong was driving Dennis’s 135i as “N” class so he shouldn’t have been included in the AAA standings.
Thanks!AAA isn’t that bad a class, guys 🙂 We could use some more cars up there.
Some E9x M3s up against some 20+ year old E36s sounds like a fun match-up.
My goal for this weekend is to drive clean for once. I’m refusing to wear my scared cone t-shirt again.
good to know.. with the monsoon level rains we’re expecting, we’ll just have to be a little extra careful looking out for puddles hiding potholes
on the little map, i was curious about the marked off roads so i did google street view.. it all makes sense now
(those roads are in terrible condition and have gates)
To put that 0.001 in perspective, if the average speed was 30mph (which seems about right), that translates to 1/2″. Crazy close!
Ryan: driveline gearing mods is an interesting idea. For our events, it would probably make the most sense to look at 2nd gear ratio * diff ratio for the comparison, and for non-transmission swaps, it will end up looking just like the diff change we track today.
Of course it still begs the question of just how many points such a change should be worth.
Hal: how would you propose starting over?
