Went to Motorplex last night. Best was

13.593 @104.56mph, Short: 2.417 135i Coupe DCT. Wheels/Tyres: Stock runflats Mods:None

Was my first ever time on a drag strip. Only got 4 runs as it was a 45 minute wait in between runs.
Struggled with launching as it would either spin or have terrible axle tramp. Didn't get a chance to try launch control as it wouldn't engage.

Best result was to put it in DTC mode, foot on brake and quickly pump the throttle to try and get the revs up a little.

Just flooring it off the line had the rear end bouncing up and down horribly.

Trying to feather the throttle in 1st to control wheel spin ended up in a 14.2.

I think best place to shift was around 6200rpm, but I really needed more runs to figure these things out.
