Surely if a richer AFR could be achieved, it might make even more power but I no longer have any interest in this, besides its better fuel economy which my wife prefers.

The ETs posted by Kenny were achieved on a much hotter day so no doubt there is a handicap there.

I just did this for a bit of fun. If I could have launched better and got at best a 2.00 60' time I could have seen 14.2 seconds but coulda/woulda/shoulda.
Slow? Really? I don't see how? Also what tyres were you using on your runs out of curiousity? Oem rft?

Not much over 1500kg for the 130i, inc fuel and driver? not exactly a porker..

I'll try and get to the strip myself next wed, or maybe even on the weekend if available, can't make it tonight, working away (was) and gf has car for the day til late
