What fuel are you using BMWSKI? Is it premium diesel?

Nooo, I dont think it is bad. I personally prefer premium as I think the car is a little more responsive. But no need to spend out extra money on this if you dont want to.
Anyway, when gtsussex did his 0-60 times etc...with the vbox I'm sure he said he had ordinary diesel in, and still got times of around 4.6s 0 - 60. Would be interesting to repeat these tests after a few miles on the car and with premium diesel.

Does the Laptimer App have acceleration testing? G force perhaps.

The only reason sport feels faster generally is the over the top throttle map.
Add that to the gearbox setting extending the gear change map so you spend more time away from the peak torque would probably give the illusion of feeling slower. When in reality it's probably a teeny bit faster. |

- Throttle - Brake - RPM - Fuel - G-Force - Map Kind of cool but not sure how accurate it is. I've only used it once and only managed a 0-60 time of 5.1secs That wasn't using LC. |

That does G Force, in fact seems to do a fair bit. I've found that these smartphone type apps are only any good if the phone is anchor well to the car. Needs a good mounting point.

I don't think the BMW app is that accurate, although 5.1 0-60 is probably not far off for no LC.

I've used this one (a bit). The phone clips into the holder under the armrest so holds it firm.

These apps look like they could be some fun. I used a ski app in Austria and found it addictive trying to beat the top speed I had previously recorded. Managed to get to 107kph aggghhh. But seriously I think id lose my license trying to improve on the data if I had something like that for my car
