Here is a thread on it.

Thanks! I forgot to mention that I got a gearbox flash that removed the limits - or at least should have. The original I think is 760Nm, I now have 1000Nm. But even the 760Nm shouldn't be a problem since you're high in rev-range, its more likely pulling 500-640Nm up at 3,5-4,5k. So don't think it would be that but Ill check the forum

Edit: I read it - super interesting read! Will investigate that. However, I see other x35ds pulling well under 12s 100-200kph - so thats what I'm trying to figure out. Either they all have better gearbox flash, or better tune, or there is something wrong with the car
