1st time at the track bmw 335i sedan auto

1) 2008 Sedan BMW Automatic with Step
2) Temp 88-82 Degrees
3) AA downpipe, Vanguard Exhaust, HPF Intercooler, ESS Stage 2 Tune.
4) 91 Octane, A little bit under 1/4 Tank
5) After the first run my weight reducing was removing the passenger.
4) Stock Tires 17 inch Run Flats
5) Driving auto for awhile now, just 1st time at the track with this car.
6) I'm attaching pictures of the first two passes.
My first pass was a 13.2 with a passenger.
My second run was a 12.9 without a passenger.
My third run was 13.5 without a passenger, mainly due to no traction what so ever.

Do you guys have any suggestions to get a lower 1/4 mile time? All of the runs were done in sport mode and launching was on m2. My first run i launched at 1500, second at 1800, third at 2000 and i spun a lot. Each run i just floored it all the way down the strip.

Go when its 50 degrees. You'll run 3 tenths of a second faster!

Garage List
2007 335i  [10.00]
It was so obvious, I was gonna say Reaction Time until I saw the 2nd time slip which was better. Do you have LSD? That and tires

I think you still have a tiny bit to shave in your R/Ts. I don't have much experience myself, but I think mine was like 0.17x or 0.2xx the first and only time I went.

Thanks for sharing.

r/t doesn't effect your 1/4 time. the clock starts when you cross the start line. it'll only matter if you're actually trying to race the guy next to you.

to echo others, stock rfts are probably slowing you down the most

Temperature is the biggest factor when looking at his ET. At 80 degrees, how can you expect good times?

x2 on the tires.

LSD is a expensive mod, but will offer huge reduction of tire slippage.
