I was there at Famosa that same day, ran mid 13s@104.14mph in the qtr mile with my bone stock 06 M3 SMG. I was bored waiting between runs at the track. So I did some tests on the street. You can see the 60' time on the 3rd steet run (in green), is right in line with the times on the drag strip surface. In fact it falls right in the middle of the 60" times I got on the track. (2.089-2.114-2.123 secs) No discernable difference on street tires that I noticed that day. And interestingly enough...my 335i without LSD, and with skinnier rear tires 255 vs 275s, achieves as good or lower 60' times as my M3 (335i=2.034-2.045sec.) Now theres some food for thought..........
