This is really impressive. I hope I can do this next month when I go back. What octane do you run?

A/C automatically drops off line at WOT, so its not something else you need to remember to do.

Nice run @ 13. flat. Cutting the 60 foot time will get 12.9.

1.8 for 60ft is about as good as it gets with stock tires so its doable. Drive around the bleach box & keep the tires dry - just a quick dry burnout to heat them.

If your car moves to one side or the other at the start try coming in at an angle to would cause the movement to straighten the car down the track. The angle will give you a bit more roll out & cut the time.

Had a StingRay that that a lot of movement to left when launched so I took as much angle as the starter let me get away with.

Nice. You'll do better next time!

Can someone help me by explaining how to do a burnout to heat the tires? How do I even do this on the M235i? I have never done this before.

No need to heat street tires. Burnouts are more for slicks
