My first 1/4 mile runs ever - impressions

So Fred, really, if I could've launched, I should have been at least mid 12's.

What do you think a stock 135i could run with a good launch? My friend pulled a 13.12 with an sti running only on downpipes and a small wastegate mod. I HAVE to beat this when I get my 135i! Friendly competition, you know?

Stock 135i?? Probably 13.1 would be a VERY good time.. More than likely, you'd be about 13.3 - 13.6.

If you had DRs, you'd do a LOT better. Combine that with a tune & DPs, and it's not inconceivable to possibly even bump into 11's.

Cool, thanks for the info :thumbup:. I can't wait to order this thing, I'm just waiting until I feel the time is right. My friend and I both know the potential of the n54 as we both test drove the 135, 335, and the 535i my parents have. Needless to say, he knows who will come out victorious .
