[F30MSport]

Went to Atco tonight to run my car and was happy with the results! 2013 335i xdrive with MPPK 8AT 18" 400m w/ oem all season tires. Each run was in Sport + I also used the paddle shifters shifting at 6k rpms.

Best E/T: 12.965
Best MPH: 106.50
Best 60': 1.817





When Motor Trend came out with an article with the same set up they posted a 13.0 @ 105mph so I was hoping to at least match that time. I was skeptical that they may have pumped up the numbers. 12.9's not bad for a grocery getter

nice times! did you have to do a burnout before the run? is that normally required? i would feel embarrassed if i had to do it and messed up and not put up smoke lol. did you hold the traction control for a few seconds on sport+ til you saw the dsc go off?

Thanks! No need for a burnout since its an awd car and impossible. The point of a burnout is to heat up the tires for increased grip. Typically you'd want a drag radial similar compound tire and a rwd car. Not the end of the world if you messed up people do it all the time. I just pushed the button to sport then one more time for sport +

The car was very consistent even with me paddle shifting which was perfect every run. The car was a little more in it for sure in its current state. Mods to come!

1.8 60ft is what had you breaking into the 12s. Describe your launch technique(rpm).

No launch technique I've got the 8 speed automatic so easy as pushing the pedal to the floor. On two of my runs I mimicked launch control by holding the brake pedal down and holding the rpms around 2k but it still resulted in the same 60' and et

we just took my wife's stock right off the floor 2014 335 Gt to the track - cut a 13.45 with 104 and a curb weight of 4010 = expect to be in low 12 next spring with a couple of mods - pretty impressive for that car - I race a 13 mustang GT and am mid 12 with minor mods. That bmw could end being a bracket beater for sure - never live it down with wife may have to go Nitrious.

Doesn't appear to take a lot of mods nor money to get mid to low 12's. Good luck with your ride!

Thanks, the AWD is great just look at those 60' times, I had traction off and was told by some guys at the track I was still spinning off the line. Those oem runflats will be gone soon, will be interesting to see if I can improve with wider and sticky tires.
