I think I always get overboost in 1. gear and lose traction from around 3.5k rpm if I just slam it form idle. Maybe its just the stock R17225 pirelli runflats that don't have enough grip.

Just curious if its normal and if others have same problem and use boost limit setting on the JB4 to avoid this?

Traction was perfect at launch. Must have something to do w the wheels and tires-275's.

Sport +, and sport trans. 3000k launch. Shot out like a bullet!
You have to get the jb4.

I coded in sport+ and launch control on my luxury line (its all the same).

Try AutoMap (I don't have JB4) but my friends with N54 say it is their fav over Map2 or 7.
Then try another run with Map2 (do a few runs)

My friend jamoka3 getting 13.1-13.3 with just Active8 100-103 octane mixture, stock tires, xDrive.

That will be interesting to see with the 55 weather then.
Keep us posted, do a few runs and post your 3 fastest for each diff map.
Don't forget to use Auto-Map too

Damn that sucks, are you on the latest firmware?
K320 when you had jb4 your firmware didn't have auto map either?
I thought they updated to have one already..

My buddy jamoka3 has a really good trap and time on his F30 328 Active8 tune

[Drogon F30]

Finally got my time down! Right lane

[Drogon F30]

Has anyone messed with the custom Map 6 on the X28i with JB4?

[F30 Epal]

Might go to Auto Club Speedway tomorrow, anyone else going?

Stock car?

[jamoka3]

long post warning!
Went back to the track on 3/25/16. Island Dragway in New Jersey.
Im running the 2014 328i Xdrive, auto, N26 engine. Bone stock!.
Sport + coded and launch control active.

CAR #844
Only upgrade is the Active Autowerkes Active 8 Module.
*Used 8 gallons of 103 Octane Race fuel made with race-gas Racing fuel Concentrate and 93 octane base Shell V power fuel.
http://race-gas.com/

Best run of the night (and so happy to break into the 12's) was a 12.928!
I was running low 13's all night 13.106, 13.090, all on MAP 8. (see pics)
I finally had enough, AFTER about 7 runs hitting low 13's so i did one thing I would NEVER recommend, I pulled the air filters (the N26 engine has two, a normal paper air filter and one behind it for emissions). But it really helped my top end and gave me a higher trap speed, and I finally got into the 12's.
In reality i would rather know i'm running low 13's and keep the intake of my engine clean then run high 12's and have a chance of sucking up some road debris and killing the turbo or internals...

So since we all know "talk is cheap" here are my time slips and some video recordings of my runs as proof. (sorry for the bouncing around it was recorded from my HTC m8 phone.)

*(The first video is my 12.928 run) no music just sweet BMW sound!
All others are the low 13.106, 13.090 runs some with Torque Pro track recordings and some just camcorder mode.
All music that was playing is on my stereo at that time, these are not edited so be warned...lol

Went to the strip this afternoon. Only my 2nd time drag racing (car #3060). Weather was around 85 degrees. Mods are in the sig. Tires are the all-season runflats.

Man..... Finally, proof that the N20 can make 12's. Your 60ft is pretty solid!

Has anyone tried drag radials? Or even other tires? Seems like the majority of times are with stock tires. I'd love to see what these cars do on a better equipped tire.
