Line Lock?

Since the brakes are so sensetive on theses cars which makes doing a stand still burnout hard.. and not so good for your back brakes.. (talking about manual)..I was wondering if anyone put linelock on their car to help warm up their tires before a run.... Do they make it for the 1 series???

It'd be hard for me to imagine someone being serious enough about drag racing in a 135i to do that. You only need to warm up the tires if you're running drag radials or slicks anyway.

Of course, there's some cool factor involved in being able to pull of John Force style burnouts any time you like, but I wouldn't screw with the braking system in this car for that personally.

i had one on my GTR, nice mod indeed. But ur 1 aint a dragger and i agree with the above posts, but unless its packing 600+ and very light weight then id say go for it, theres a company called Hart, i dont know there contacts, but ther Line Lock's are mostly on GTR's and i think it is possible to add this to any car.

You could do a line lock with a tilton front break system.

Why not use some tyre warmers? That way when your pit crew put your fresh tyres on they will be just at the right temperature.

They're not model specific. It's pretty much a universal piece.
