Now to the details...08 335XI 6MT Coupe, bone stock.

60' 1.925
330 5.596
1/8 8.669
MPH 80.01
1000 11.296
1/4 13.506
MPH 102.13

With that said, how do these times compare to the rest of the herd? What are some of your recomendations on how to launch the car at the track? Is my trap speed in-line with everyone elses, or does it seem low?

My stock XI coupe ran 13.69 with a 1.967 60' with a step tranny. My final trap speed is a bit lower at 100.89. Did you run at night? What was the temps? The day I ran was 87 degrees outside.

I launch the auto at 2500rpms, what did you launch at? I also ran at Englishtown btw.
