Put my 335i throught the 1/4 mile....very happy!! - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

GTGeo96 · 04-10-2007, 08:57 PM

OK, lets start off by saying that I am no John Force. I would consider myself slightly above average driver. That being said, after work last friday night i ran home, got my helmet and took my 335i sedan to Englishtown raceway. I got there and ran the car the way it was, 36psi in the tires, almost half a tank of gas. I did not powershift.

My first run against a honda civic-
I spun out of the hole, when i shifted second i had wheel hop, all other shifts were solid.
ran a 60' of 2.60 (horrible i know) but a 1/4 of 13.60 at 102mph

i was impressed and surprised by that.

Second run against a G35-
60ft of 2.3 with same problems as first run, however this time i was shifting right at redline and more wheelspin in 2nd and the fact that the car doesnt perform best shifting at redline, led to another 13.65 at 106mph in the 1/4

My last run, solo (i was the last car of the night)
a 2.06 sec 60' with some wheel hop, less, but still some hop in 2nd, and all else perfect from there, the car ran a 13.403 at 103mph.

I cant tell you all how impressed and happy i am with the performance of that thing. There was also another 335i coupe there, his best time was a 13.6, but to his defence, he had a broken finger and 19" rims.lol Im very sure with some better driving i can drop another tenth or two

Ill post pics and timeslips ASAP

106 is pretty fast for a stock 335i.

sflgator · 04-10-2007, 09:09 PM

I take it you beat the G35?

b0rderman · 04-10-2007, 09:12 PM

anyone have any laptimes for watkins glen, limerock or poconos inner????

CoralRedPlz · 04-10-2007, 09:25 PM

wow, great runs!

plz put a procede in YOUR car and lets see some 12.7's

teknochild · 04-10-2007, 09:29 PM

much faster and your going to have to wear a helmet

BMW335i07 · 04-10-2007, 09:46 PM

I dont think we should even bother asking
If G was stock you should know the outcome

ch330i · 04-10-2007, 09:57 PM

You should PROcede it and see the differences between the two. Stock and modded of course but with the same variables if possible, half tank gas 36 psi etc

Evo8MRto335I · 04-10-2007, 09:57 PM

Congrats. 106 mph shows us that the BMW has a very strong engine. 106 mph stock is very very good.

E90330iS · 04-10-2007, 10:47 PM

Cool! What year G35 was it?

Agreed, 106 is one of the fastest trap speeds I have seen for a stock 335i.

I could be wrong but in my experience you I have always had to wear a helmet at the drag strip. I think when I used to go on Long Island if you ran below a 17 you have to wear a helmet. And I think at some tracks if you break into either the 11's or maybe 10's they require a cage.

I am not sure about the cage rule but I have always been required to wear a helmet

most tracks are under 14 = helmet per NHRA; local one here they say 13.5 = helmet, but they dont really enforce it

What were the G results?

Too many speed readers on this list...

HyperM3 · 04-11-2007, 10:50 AM

Im a fan of E-town. Its a very nicely groomed track. I was always able to be consistant there. What was the theme on friday night? I thought saturdays were "run what you brung" nights. Either way, I want to get my car out there as soon as its broken in as well. I would DEFINITELY drop the pressure in the tires though to about 28. You werent getting the best traction because you had too much pressure. I gotta check mine, I dont want them that high on the street. Should be around 34 on the street.

Heli Animal · 04-11-2007, 12:17 PM

I'd drop it to 25 psi. My father has a GTS viper.. if I don't drop to 25 psi at the track it will 2.2 60' :sucks (yes he doesn't race and lets me beat the crap outta it at the 1/4 mile!) but I can hit 1.9's with lower pressure. It really makes a huge difference!

Thats with regular tires though, not runflats. Below 28psi on RFT's its pointless as the stiffer sidewall begins to take over. 20-25psi on regular tires would be a lot more beneficial.

GTGeo96 · 04-11-2007, 06:18 PM

lol yeah i was impressed, for those who are wondering, it was a test and tune night for muffled cars(every friday and wednesday night) YES i smoked the g35...by like a second and a half. and i was already wearing a helmet...at etown you always have to. dont think it needs to be full faced, but you do have to wear one.
