I'm sure he'll answer, but I think 2012's were all "i"s and I tihnk he might have meant "AT" instead of "at"...

Sport+ with paddle shift mode. Smooth Road (Tar) Gravel causes to much resistance AC Off (lol just to make it accurate) 1. Make sure the car is nice and hot, oil temp around 250F 2. Tires have to be warm 3. Hold in 1st gear rev just a little, Release and slam enough to wear the tires wont spin i like to call this (Torque Hold) Right before it hits Red shift if you dont the car will jump because the car has a safety mechanism to protect the engine. 4. You may not get it the first time it took me 3. You will learn how to launch better in each run Tech Specs. BP 93 Octane Gas Castrol Titanium 5w-30 (Highest Performance oil) Better than what BMW recommends. Happy Testing I wil be posting a video in a few days |

HELL NO!!! lmaooo, I think of you're an expert manual shifter its possible to get a better time the only way to do it is not to loose any power during the shift.

I put about 60 miles on a F30 328xi sport w/paddle shifters, and purchased a 2011 328i 6MT. Maybe the F30 felt marginally faster.....my clutch skill is average at best (been driving trucks, Volvos and Subies most of my life, all 4 and 5 speeds, nothing like a real performance tranny) so I am sure this factored into it. Compared to the 328xi I nearly purchased though, the 2013 F30 version is much, much more aggressive, both in shifting and hitting torque at a low RPM. Easily felt 15% faster than the E90 version.
I ended up going with the E90 328i 6MT because I felt it was equivalent in performance, more fun to drive, and nearly $20k cheaper! I wonder if I am the only one who feels that way? |

To answer the performance claims from BMW vs. Mags.
BMW's tests would be carried out strictly to set standards (TUV), so will be carrying a set amount of fuel and ballast weights to meet the requirement. Car mags don't follow that regime. Take 30-40 kilo's out of the car and yes it will hit 60 faster. Test on a drag strip rather than a virgin piece of tarmac and again you'll be faster. Not apples with apples, but it is if you want to compare a German manufacturer A vs. B official figures, which is the important comparison. |

Even in a 116i loaner the tires will lose a lot of traction if pushing too much revs at launch. And it has only 122 hp |

You get Sport+ if you have the Sport auto. With regular auto you dont have it.
