Hi All,

I apologize in advance, I am terrible with any kind of video, hard to find the time with a 3rd kid on the way, but this is why I am posting it at 2am - ha.
Anyways, here is a video of the car. I'm looking forward to getting this car lined up in October in Wisconsin at a real strip with prep. I think it can go faster.

All of the parts on the car fit great, don't throw codes, and they all work very well. Methanol is amazing, stock turbo.

Huge shoutout to the entire BMS team, especially Terry. He made himself available to review logs during dyno sessions, and answer all of my non-stop stupid questions. Really great partner in this. Guy is a flipping genius.

MHD BEF is totally killer. XHP Stage 3 Transmission tune is a monster, I launch the car in Manual 2 gear mode. 0-60 in 3.3, but I think it can do better. Don't even bother with a 1-2 shift anymore.

Josh/AWE was gracious enough to make me a custom 340i exhaust with an additional resonator in the mid-pipe (like the 320i had). This made the exhaust a bit more mellow and reduced the burble pops (also disabled in MHD). I'm not a fan of the burbles, and I personally love this exhaust. It sounds somewhat "exotic" at 3500rpm.

Car made the following on the dyno (45% Humidity, 88F, 29.3 in Hg):

Pull 1: 441 AWHP / 526 AWTQ
Pull 2: 447 AWHP / 493 AWTQ
Pull 3: 458 AWHP / 502 AWTQ

Car is probably 445 AWHP and 500 AWTQ.

Wife approved, emissions approved. If anyone has any questions - let me know.

Total sleeper! (Till you rev it, lol)

Impressive! That's on the stock turbo?

[GT500R]

Where’s the slip?

Also how do you launch in 2nd? Better then launch control or with just rev its traction off?

Dragy at the end of the video...brake boost it to 3000rpm in M2 with Sport+ and then let go of the brake and mash the gas. Then, take the shifter, slap it right to "d" and back to "s" mode for it to manage the 2-3 and 3-4 shift. I was high 3's / low 4's with launch control.

I'll back up Dragy with a paper slip in September / October when it cools down up here.

Yeap - that was the goal. 5.0 coffin maker.

Can you post the dragy screenshot?

And the dragy vid without the music?

I’m trying to get some tips on going quicker 👌🏼

Is your launch control automatically set at 3k with xHP stage 3 or did you still have to mess with the custom launch settings? Because I am on stage 2 (will switch to stg 3 once I go bm3 stg 2) and its still at 2.5k, but I have the option to change the settings. Not sure how to raise it to 3k.

I don't use launch control

So if you are launching from m2, it will let you go up to 3k?

I've gotta try this 2nd gear launch...now for it to not be 95* outside!

Lol I'm trying to do the same. Still 91* outside and dragy is showing a DA of 2500. Just need the DA to get down to 1500 then I can try the 2nd gear launch since it will be consistent with my other 0-60 and 1/4 mile attempts.

blows my mind that 2nd is faster than 1st, considering no wheel spin.

I guess the dragy will tell us the truth. could be his xph also. Really cant wait till somebody posts before/after (only) xhp results.

lol I have xHP too, but I'm on stage 2 currently. I'm waiting to go stg 2 e30 before I switch to xHP stage 3.

Quickest stock turbo time I've seen. Nice work!

Yeap, which is why I do it, the turbo is actually spooled at 3000 vs. the terrible 2200 of launch control. On launch control, the car was so hesitant off the line too...I was like "come on, today junior, let's go!!!" The 1-2 shift on launch control was brutal. I mean look, you need the power in 2nd gear, but if it is there, let it rip.

XHP might have something to do with it too...feel like all of the torque is being passed through and ready to rock and roll.

I do have videos of launch control vs. "CntryClub M2 Launch"...Let me make another terrible video (no music) and I'll post it up.

Update: Video here, analyze all you want, but Launch Control would do the same thing for me over and over, and the 1-2 shift wasn't improving. SORRY that I'm terrible with anything video / filming related as well, but I just don't have a ton of time to try and produce any decent content, probably shouldn't have even bothered with the crappy video above.

The best way to compare the two is to watch the speedo on both videos, the M2 just flies up there...it's one thing if my 0-60 time was from an OBD reader, but it's not...it's from Dragy, so I'm definitely going 60MPH.

However, now...I want to hear results, is anyone getting faster 0-60 times using this method vs. LC?

Thank you, this is super interesting!!!

Do you have the dragy screenshot? I would be interested to see how the "G" meter looks on it.

CG Catted, no codes either. Fitment was perfect, I would purchase again. AWE also made me a custom exhaust with a resonator in it, which is why it sounds more mellow.

Amazing! I'm never launching in 1st again!
