About right you need dif. tires

Simon930 · 09-10-2012, 11:46 AM

Yea I know lol
Do you think diff tires will bring my mph up or no because it seems kinda low?

Turb0Surge · 09-10-2012, 12:56 PM

Depending on what tire you go with you could gain or lose MPH. If you upgrade to a stickier and/or wider street tire you might gain a little due to better grip and a reduction in tirespin. Whereas if you switch to a DR you'll accelerate faster which will result in a lower trap speed because you traverse the same distance faster, but with the same power.

Good times though for being on runflats

sickem · 09-18-2012, 04:09 PM

that's a great 60' time. Is your car DCT?

Simon930 · 09-18-2012, 04:25 PM

No DCT

It was my first run too

afb683 · 09-19-2012, 02:48 PM

Have you ran with DTC? Just curious what the differance would be.

sickem · 09-19-2012, 02:51 PM

are the axle and tranny gear ratios in the 6AT 135i the same as the 335i sedan 6AT? I'm wondering how with essentially the same mods I'm 3/10 of a second slower in the 60'...
