my brother has an over spin problem with his e92 M3 6MT on 1st and 2nd gears. his car has an intake, full catless X pipes and a tune. it spins badly and goes sideways!! he has yokohama advan sport tires 275/35/18 his tire thread life is 80%

any idea why is that happening or how we could we void that??

 

I dont want to be a jerk, but the best thing is call traction controll with your right foot. Also try if you can a little tall tire. A smaller sidewall tires are hard to hook up.

 

huh?

 

Better tires and lighter right foot

 

not being a jerk at all! This is somewhat obvious OP.......DONT FLOOR THE CAR in low gears, you have to roll onto the throttle.

 

nice comments!! thnx guys

 

bump up to a 285, maybe 295 with something larger in the front

 

check tire pressure and treads too.

is this what happens when ESP is turned off?

 

Has he considered trading it in for a car he knows how to drive?

 

it happens when DTC is off!!
guys he has been driving MT cars for over 8 years and this is his 2nd M3 MT!!
my C2S MT doesnt spen at all when he drives it.. i drove his car and it spenned realy badly!! its not abt him.. i am sure its sthn to do with the wheels!!
i will post a video soon!!

 

OK, where's the "PUNKED" camera? This is a joke right?

 

I've an 6MT E92 M3 and it doesn't spin its tires that much unless you dump the clutch. Try switching wheels and tires with someone else if possible to eliminate the possibility of the tires/wheels being at fault.

 

haha i just had to comment. this is one of the dumbest threads i've seen

 

switching wheels was a great suggestion.. we switched the 18's with the M3 GTS wheels and it hardly spinned.. thnx guys

 

It's amazing how a heavier wheel will limit wheel spin!!
