[Alexlind123]

Does anyone know the lateral acceleration, in Gs, that my carr is supposed to have?

With or without snow cover?

why do you need to know this peculiar information?

[Alexlind123]

I dont need to know it, i am just curious and i want to compare it to other cars.

Get yourself a Gtech and measure it for yourself. Anything else is meaningless speculation, since what your car achieves is highly dependent on road surface, suspension, tires, and, to a degree, driver skill.

it will be higher if you accelerate uphill

[bahnstormer]

its pretty much entirely dependant on tires

i have the original review of the 535i in there
u can see if they tested it

Really. I would assume a downhill curve just turning uphill would give the best numbers. I sure know this type of curve feels great!

it should have more than the seats can support ... in other words, you should either end up on the door panel or the e-brake before you finish the turn.

god i hate leather. someone trade me their cloth seats.

I've seen .86 on my 540/6 when I have the 17" 235/255 summer ContiSport2's on... (that's from my G-Tech) The Sports seats do a good job of holding my scrawny behind down. In any event, it corners far better than I would ever use when I'm driving with a passenger...I reserve Gmax-lat to when I'm driving on my own... :D

Cheers,

only in measurement of lateral acceleration driver skills are minimized to ability to hold the steering wheel constantly at the end of the turn...

Sadly, im not enough in touch with my car to feel comfortable testing it on the road. Maybe a skidpad. I guess thats why i should have gotten a chevy cavelier that i could push to its most extreme limits without veing in severe danger of cutting myself in half on a large tree or one of the ever-present logging trucks.
