I'll let you drive the auto at LACR or somewhere sometime, this 335i is my first auto, (I've dragged and owned only manuals up till now) and it takes a bit more skill than just flooring it.
You have to modulate the throttle just the same to keep from getting big tire spinning.
It's a bit trickier than you think.
I think SoCal335i got equal 60' times as the autos at German Invasion too.
I think the better 60' times the autos generally see is because they can load up the turbo at launch.
