The bmwusa.com website indicates 6.1s/6.7s manual/auto.
I'm pretty sure those aren't the original numbers they put out when the car was released.

IIRC, the 6.1/6.7 figures were the ones quoted by BMWUSA back in 2008 when the 128i was introduced in the US.
Since BMW's figures are generally conservative, the OP could probably improve with better technique, albeit at the expense of long-term reliability.
