I didnt use the launch method thinking it might be harmful to the engine, brakes & gear according to what my dealer quoted.
I tried all modes sports & sports + and what surprised me most was that I was getting better results when the shifter was on the "D" rather than shifting it to the left "DS" I know it depends on a lot of variables including climate and tyres etc.. I need to try it again but whats the best way to launch and in what mode?
The 335xi will definitely be quicker at least 0.3- 0.5 faster than the 335i. The bottom line is that magazines will state something else but we drivers need to see ourselves what performance we are getting on the clock. 0-100 or 0-60 nowadays is a marketing tactic used by auto companies just to advertise their product. Also USA BMW website claims 0-60 in 5.1 secs for the 335i while the European site claims 5.5 secs. So it doesnt matter what they say , its up to you to find out your self what you get.  |
thats a terrible time....when i was getting used to my e92 i ran low 5's and thats with bad starts and slow shifts
DS shifts much faster not sure how ur results r contradictory to every one elses.
how r u measuring the time? maybe thats where the fault is
