In stock form and in decent ambient conditions and altitude, the M235 is a 12.9-13.4@107-109mph car depending transmission and drivetrain (RWD or AWD). Automatics are quicker/faster than manuals because they can build boost on launch, don't lose boost on shifts, and have deep gearing. Xdrive cars post the best 1/4 mile ETs on street tires because they have abundant traction but due to drivetrain losses in the higher mphs, they post slightly lower 1/4 mile trapspeeds. ET is all about traction and ET can be all over the place depending on this factor. Trap speed MPH is all about available power and isn't influenced much at all by traction unless you're totally blowing the tires off.
A BM3 Stage 1 M235 with no other mod makes around 360whp/380twq. The powerband band is significantly increased. The car should go ~111-113mph depending on transmission assuming decent ambient conditions and altitude. If the driver can pull a 1.7-2.0 60 foot, it should be good for 12.2s-12.8s. A BM3 Stage II and DP M235 will make nearly 400whp and 400+wtq. This should be good for around 113-116mph and 11.8s-12.6s assuming a 1.7-2.0 60 foot.
Fact: Most drivers think they are great drag racers.
Fact: Most drivers realize they are absolutely terrible when they get their first timeslips.
