I agree, we can choose to get scientific on this but consider C&D is in Michigan, MT is in CA. Both on different days and possibly times and possibly different weather conditions tested the 335i at 4.6/4.7 and 13.3 (105/103) at the quarter. Our friend here came in at 4.56 and 13.33@104 at the quarter in NJ. I don't know about you but I am really not worried about different conditions for the quarter mile times especially if the goal is to achieve the best times.

BTW - that S4 ran the second fastest time in the world (11.62@118.64), so don't feel bad (looks like you have some faster horses in the stable anyways ). |

Besides, isn't a negative DA better than standard conditions? I.e. any correction would place you in the opposite direction? I don't know much about STP or whatever the equiv statement is for drag racing. |

Not like it really needs to. "It needs more power" was never really a criticism levied against the N54 and N55 engine. The competition hasn't done much to play catch up/out perform the engine, so BMW doesn't really have much incentive to make upgrades. I suspect that will change once the B9 S4 and C400 go on sale. |

Absolutely no way to bypass the water. I tracked my 135i there MULTIPLE tims and i always had to light the tires up exiting the waterbox to get the water off the tires.

Not sure the 3 series should actually qualify as 'luxury' but that's neither here nor there. But given the amount of N54s out there that are highly modified, this platform has quite the following (yes this is N55 but same idea) of people who increase the power and take it to the drag strip amazingly enough. It is considered a 'sport sedan' so probably a given. Crazy to see 335's and 135s with the N54 engine running roll races against Lambo's, Ferraris, GTRs, etc, and doing quite well. I think the BMS folks have 135 and 335s that are pushing north of 500whp. Considering you could toss in <$1500 and run in the 11s in the 1/4, that's pretty impressive to me. For a luxury sport sedan... |

Xdrive is an electronically actuated clutchpack, so it could be in the "locked" position if they wanted it to be. If you've ever driven a 4x4 at low speed, it's clear that this is fail. So most likely the diff locks in a split when launching or driving straight at low speed. There is also a feedback system superimposed which can change the split if it believes the rear axle is freely spinning on ice.

They say the first car race probably dates back to whenever the second car had finished production. Its either in your blood or it isn't. |

I have an F32 XDrive Msport with PPK and MPE on order ETA mid May.
Anybody know what will be the 0-60 & 1/4 mile times on a car "tuned" like this ? I try to find this info on the web but without success... |
