First time hitting the Dragstrip in my 135i!

Gonna be taking my car for the first time to the 1/4 mile dragstrip soon. My car is a 6AT 135i N54. Engine mods include Pure stg 2's, FBO, PI + Fuel-It Stage 3 LPFP + Full E85, stock auto trans except for a Alpina flash. What is the best advice you can give in terms of launching from a dig (1st or 2nd gear etc.)?

Also I have Toyo R888's now that I daily, but I have a extra set of lightweight wheels but I'm still trying to decide what tires I should get for the drag strip, any recommendations?

Thanks ahead!

Would I be fine if I run semi-slicks in the rear with a stock auto trans and stock axles? I ordered drag radials but when they arrived they look more like slicks..

Heres a pic of em:

Manual driver here but try 2nd. I believe 1st is a short gear and you'll probably burn the tires. Just play around and see what works.

Do you have a diff?

Regardless of if you do or not I think you'll be fine. However make sure you give it a lot of revs and the correct tire pressures so as not to dead hook. If you do that could blowup the drivetrain.

Our 135i is stock with JB4 and DCI and has so far managed 1.84 60' times on 265/35/18 Kumho tyres by leaving in sports mode and stalling the engine up around 2,000rpm on the brake in 1st gear.
