Track Day

[mrcarter20]

Took the X to the track last week after some convincing from my friends. It's an 1/8 mile track (it's North Dakota so we're lucky to even have a track haha). Not going to lie I was surprised with how she performed. I was expecting low 15s but my fastest time was an 11.104.

Still can't figure out why my reaction time was the slowest with the fastest time. Btw I took 7 runs but just posted 3 of my best ones.

Mind you the convincing came while I was there with the intent to watch my other friends race. Of course one of them just so happened to have an extra helmet lol


One of the runs where my friend tried to record but underestimated the torque in these inline 6s haha


One of my runs.


In all it was a great day. What's the point of putting in these mods if you're not gonna see how it really does. I believe all I need is the active autowerks tune (hopefully it'll get rid of then CEL) and that'll be it for performance mods.

The only question that I had after the event was what would've happened if I had a 4.8is? 🤔🤔 I guess that's for another story someday.

It all starts AFTER you paid the X off.......

Nothing is ever easy with a BMW.....but extremely worth it when it's done.....correctly

Low 15's in the 1/8 mile is beyond extremely slow I think you have it confused with a full quarter mile which is more proper for our trucks. Also reaction time doesn't affect ET.

I think it's hilarious that you took your 3.0 to the strip. Good work!
