First 1/4 mile run with the 135i

[jdspeed135]

I went to Capitol Raceway yesterday and got a few "baseline" runs. Car is bone stock except for a Cobb Stage 1 flash. Let me know if this is good and what I can improve on. Car is an automatic with the Msport package.

Looks like a solid time and trap speed. Did you start in second? I heard that helps with the launch. You might be able to bring that 60 down. I didn't know the track was still open. I might try going soon then

Looks like a good run. I will be picking up a low mileage 09 135i AT M-Sport in June and plan to have fun with it at the local track too. Already looking at upgrades...

What made you go with the Cobb vs JB4?

I started in 1st for all of the runs. I should try starting at 2nd next time up it might help with the 60. I figured also this would be the best i could get given that it was mid 40s that day on the stock run flats

I went with Cobb just because it is easier to install and I've had experience with it with my previous car, Mazdaspeed3.

Are there test and tune days up there, or what? I might come out sometime.

They do but their regular schedule is over they go week by week depending on weather from here on out until they release next year's schedule

Every time I try to do a 0-60 run, I always get killed by that stupid lag from the drive by wire system in my DTC. (around a .5-1 second delay when accelerating from a stand still)

Still can't get rid of it with the transmission software update or resetting the adaptive throttle stuff...

That's a pretty good baseline, op. My ETs were in the 12.7-8 range at 112ish when I was running basic bolt-ons (OTS Cobb tune, intake, intercooler, & downpipes).

Thanks man. 12s isn't bad either on your run. I figure that with a better set of tires and traction i should drop that 60ft down to around 1.8 and hit mid to high 12s

Good stuff, I think you'll be in the mid 12s range for sure.

Tires and e85 are the biggest difference makers in my experience. I went back with the only difference being NT555Rs and an e48 tune and managed an 11.9x @114mph on a soft 1.9 60ft. Promptly blew my stock turbos that very night haha.

WOW! Some nice times here!

My car bone stock N55 hit 13.7 @ 103MPH. This was with the stock runflats and my first time at the track! I tried launching it 3 ways and all ended up around the same. Tires are limiting me, spun too much.

Temperature outside was 7C and track was slippy, launches weren't grippy unless i rolled into it slowly

I think you have a solid 12 second pass with a good 60' time.

Our 2009 ran a best of 13.48 @ 100mph on factory run flats with 1.9x 60'.
Change to Kumho KU39 265/35/18 tyres put times back to 13.6 @ 99mph.

Recently fitted JB4 and DCI and was pleasantly surprised to drop to 12.9 @ 107mph with a couple of 1.84 60'.
60' times achieved by bring engine up to ~2,000rpm on the brake and bouncing in.

Just came back from 1/4 mile strip, did 13.2 @ 107MPH. Jb4 Map 5, Charge pipe, Intake, N55 engine. Michelin pilot super sports

It was 90F however with 60% humidity. So im happy with what i did! Clutch did start to slip on the 6th run tho, so i stopped after that

Yep! I run a 12.4@110mph in my 08 vert so mid to high 12's are definitely there

I'll most likely be hitting the strip again this coming friday depending on work schedule. Now with DP and FMIC and Stage 2+ on the COBB OTS. So we'll see.
