Good day for the 135i

Import face off held an event at a local drag strip.
In a controlled environment, I was able to put down some 1/4 times and wanted to share my experience.

I had a lot of people come up to me very surprised at my times and asked all about the car.

There were only two other BMW's running. Two M3's, an e46 and e36 both N/A. It was a proud day for this BMW owner as I got to run some turbo'd import's and big V8's.
I took down a srt-8 bumble bee, camaro SS, and all the other's were 6 and 4 cycle single turbo engine's. The only one even close was the srt-8 as he had a better launch but I passed him half way down the strip!

It was over an hour drive there one way and the car ran flawlessly with 81k miles on the clock and tuned the last 7k!


6AT
FBO / no spray, no meth, only the Cobb stage2+ pushing 18-20psi tapering to 14.
245 rear's
valve cleaning 5k miles ago. (I consider this notable because it was so hard to do. )
was about 70 degree's

I'm hoping a pro tune and some bigger sticker rears combined w/ a LSD might get me into the 11's! So that's the next thing on the list.

I did 5 pulls.

Awesome! Rarely do we see threads about "good days" for N54s.

Great numbers. The only reason I'm jealous of automatics...

I'm sure she rips!

Thanks, yea she pulls hard!

It's funny, I'm a hard core manual guy and almost didn't get the car because of the auto. I'll say one thing, this is one strong automatic transmission! I am very impressed with it. It shifts fast and the paddle shifters though different, still gives some sort of satisfaction as your able to up shift and downshift so quickly. I like the fact I can keep my hands at 9 and 3 around twisty roads and still have control of my shift points with out every moving my hands. I do miss kicking in a clutch, but there is something about these fast shifts which makes it pleasurable. In other words, this auto has definitely grown on me.
