I shoulda been more clear, I know the Edmunds test wasn't using launch control but they only did 0-60 and not 1/4 mile, I was wondering about that. 228I numbers are amazing, very impressive for '240hp' 3350lb car

Interesting basiluf -- isn't that surprising though? How can a properly done launch control be slower? Is it that the built in launch control is automatically doing something that can be done even better by a skilled driver? I definitely don't understand much about launch control.
Good to hear though that the times aren't too launch control dependant
