I am hoping to gather BMW fans to this thread. I am not a good tuner, but I have been driving Forza (FM and FH) for many years. I like to use BMWs in races but I don’t see many good tunes available and I’ve tried quite a few.
So maybe we can use this thread to post our favorite BMWs and the tune share codes, then we can try them out and complement the tune creators… maybe beg some great tune creators to make tunes for our favorite Bimmers? Show off the livery on our Blau Mit Weiss?
Thanks for helping start the thread and for the share codes. @Jezza14 , thank you for all the share codes, I’ll use them in the rival events in your thread.
I’m going to post a screen shot of my M3 GTR. Its been my favorite and but I stopped driving it because the exhaust note was bugged.
I’m not a BMW fan but I’ll help with the thread. Here’s three of my liveries. Sorry I don’t have the share codes but you should be able to find the designs through my gamer tag and searching the cars.
Thank you, and wow! After looking at the livery I created (unfinished), I decided it’s crap and I won’t share it.
@Jezza14 , I used the M3 GTR and it’s very good! I was all set to try it last night in open racing, but, of course, I got into all S1 and S2 races. I’m going to try it on some rivals tracks.
@specificity70 , share it! It might be golden to someone, you never know. Some of mine I think are great haven’t had one single hit. Some I just put a bunch of junk on just to get layers have been winners for sharing.
Nice work Ron. @specificity70: to your OP, BMW liveries have been a focus for a quite a few of my designs as well & actually account for some of my most popular designs (in terms of DLs) should you want to check them out in my CH. Some examples…
(apologies for the multi-edits; kept getting an error loading the 2nd pic for some reason)
Bravooo @Bravo437 . Must be bugs the the forum image server. Who wouldathunkit! Bugs in Microsoft soft? If that second image is your M8 it’s a rocin design. Hope you can get it past the buggers.
Those liveries are stunning! And thanks for the tune share codes… I’m learning to drive the RWD power tunes as its been a while since I played FM when that was pretty much all I drove. Wow, AWD on FH can really dull your driving skills.
I’ll post my livery then… it’s incomplete, but maybe what I was going for will inspire someone to make something that is much better.
Although I’m not the biggest fan of BMW’s design direction they are great driver’s cars irl and ingame. @Jezza14 posted some good ones but my two favourites are missing. The current Z4 and the 1st gen M4.
Incredibly smooth rides at A800 with decent performance.
Are you talking about the new grille? If so, I know what you mean! It looks horrible IMO! I have been leasing new ones for years, but I am keeping my current 330. Looks like Dinan is going to be my upgrade path for a while :).
I’m a lifelong BMW fan and we’ve owned quite a few. While I wont stray (though the Julia has me tempted), but I wont buy a new one until they get rid of those horrible grills.
Kidney grills and the Hofmeister kink. The E46 is to my mind the most beautiful they ever made. I had one with the ZHP package. I wish I still had it!
It took some LS Swapped BMW’s in the early 2010’s to get me more into “das autos,” but pretty much most any German “inline engine” is a work of art, but Audi/VW offers the better vertically opposed engines.
I currently own a 2003 540i M-Sport (E39). While not quite an M5 (way out of my price range), it’s still a pretty quick car. Luckily, I haven’t had any issue with the timing belt (know problem of the M62 4.4L). Plus the M-Sport package gives the car just about everything the M5 had without the engine/exhaust.
My 2004 E46 330 ci with the ZHP will always be my ultimate BMW. Most beautiful and just enough power with its handling to make it a wonderful workout every time there are curves in the road to be apexed!
By the way… I’ve been spending more and more time in this car with the tune Jezza shared and I am getting better and better results in racing. It took a bit to get control of it as it handles differently than any BMW I’ve owned or driven, but now that I have, I can whip down a road coarse with confidence and podiums result!
