My friend with a 335i is currently borrowed a 0 - 60 tester and i said why not test mine out.

Tonight i tested and I got 7.28 0 - 60 and i got 203 horsepower.

Conditions:
-straight road [slight down hill,barely]
-AC on
-3 people in car [including me]
-fog and bright lights on
-moonroof tilted
-brake held down until 2 rpms, and than launched

These are the conditions i got this time with. If anyone has any tricks to make my time faster let me know. thanks a lot. I know obviously just having one person in the car would help, but does it help to have the AC off? Also list any times that you guys have gotten?

To make your time faster, maybe have 5 people in the car next time you're going dowhill. That might help.

Maybe next time try with all windows closed and with the AC off

^how about being serious when you're testing the times for your car for a start? ac on, going down a hill, and 3 passengers? you gotta be kidding?! lol

italiandud

listen i told you guys the conditions, just give me tips and stuff... what times you guys have experienced... and i was trying to be precious, i can really say that its flat because it was such a slight slope...

I dunno uhhh
AC Off, 1 Person, Windows Up, PWR Mode?

having the AC on wont matter as long as you floor the car.

If your really serious...Pull out the spare tire and whatever else isnt nailed down. 1/4 tank gas OR less, windows up, a/c off, lower tire pressure to 25psi, retard the timing 15 degress (if it can be done, do we even have a distributer? or am i still in chevy/ford v-8 mode?), leave the car in auto and pwr ect mode. Hell even turn off the radio/pull out your sub box/amps *thats all just dead weight*, blue tape your grill area and newhere else air gets in *like the nascar guys*, turn your side mirrors inwards, unbolt your muffers, unbolt and take out your passenger seat/rearseat... want me to go on? You wanted serious im giving you serious...

OH YEA most importantly, put on some 15" rims n tires G60 or N50

italiandud

thats amazing, i will do half of that stuff, thanks for the input

i wonder if the 6mt is faster than auto Is250...

Which performance meter did you use? G-tech Pro/SS or G-tech Pro/RR? One of the older models? Important to know as the older units can be inaccurate if you don't take the time to make sure they are perfectly level.

italiandud

Neither of those. Its a newer model though and we tested it on 3 different cars. mine [IS 250], 335i bmw, v-4 honda accord... and it got the exact horsepower of each of our cars and the times seemed really reasonable

^ there is no such a thing as a v-4, its called an inline 4

AC off, 1 person, radio on, seat leaned back, & Ferrari shoes
