Over the weekend I did 15mm Future Classic wheel spacers on the rear. I’m leaving the front stock to cut down on rocks. Love the look! I also installed my HKS exhaust. Very subtle sound and looks superb! Easy install too ?

Stock tires but I would say I can only get a good launch maybe 2/3’s of the time. The remaining 1/3, the tires come loose and it just kills the launch.
My technique:
- Manual mode
- Sport+ (programmed in Bimmercode)
- Traction mode (hit the VSC button once)
- Hold the brake in 2nd gear
- Hold throttle around 2500-3000 RPM for a couple of seconds to get the boost up
- Get off brake and go from 3/4 to full throttle at ~3000k RPM
- Shift just before redline
Hope this is helpful

RIP your axles if you ever actually hook.

Nice bro, I can’t get any traction in 1st, and when launching she continues to spin through second.. I’ll try the launch in 2nd next time.

I'd love to get real 0-60 times, but not worth causing thousands of damage lol... I already know If I ever launched it on my 305's I am breaking everything lol... my guess is close to that tho on 93, and low 4's on e50 cause of traction. I am stuck doing 60-130 which I've gotten to high 7's.

Curious what your mph was?Nice bro, I can’t get any traction in 1st, and when launching she continues to spin through second.. I’ll try the launch in 2nd next time.

Nice! Yeah, I mean I really don’t feel like I’m abusing the car but these are good things to keep in mind. Any time you are pushing a vehicle towards its limits, care must be taken to not cause damage or injury (to you or others).
- I really don’t know how accurate the app is (think I’ve said that a few times) so when it says 3.4… it’s probably not actually that low. I just enjoy seeing that number
- I don’t know the exact RPM at which I launch. I give it a little gas for a couple of seconds, get it to squat, then go. My eyes are up, not looking at the tach when I’m launching (just in case things go sideways… literally).
- I’m on stock tires so there is no such thing as a “hook.” There is always wheel spin - sometimes it’s minimal, but it’s always there even on a well-prepped track.

Good question - I’ve only done around 10 runs so it’s not a huge data set, but the lowest I got was 114 and the highest was 116 (there were decimal points in there but I don’t remember what they were off the top of my head).
My slowest time was just under 12.5 (don’t remember the MPH) and that was my first run where I didn’t do much of a launch. I’ve been to the strip many times on my bike, but this was the first time with a car so I just wanted to get used to the track/brake feeling at high speed, etc.
It’s crazy how consistent this car is!
