New worlds quickest N55?
Just caught wind of some awesome VBOX testing with BMS' development N55. Those little N55s may be finally catching up to N54 performance levels!
Test Car: 2011 135i DCT, fully loaded w/ baby seat. BMS Stage1 Tuning, 3/19 firmware, 6.25psi over stock settings. BMW 2.40.1 DME update. 3/4 tank of 91 octane with NOS octane booster. AR 4" Downpipe. K1 rims all around with 245/45 Nitto 555Rs out back. How its driven daily. 58 degree weather, sea level track, probably close to 100' DA. No meth, no race gas, no catback system, no intercooler, no intake, no drop in filter, no seat removal, no charge pipe, etc. Mike |

I think there are a couple advantages playing here. Not saying that your times aren't fast, but the DCT needs more credit than it receives!

Impressive numbers! with supporting mods, should be even healthier. but we can't compare it yet to the N54 with a MT or AT since the DCT shifts faster.

They both do that to each other. I mean look at Shivs sig "quickest and fastest tune" when in actuality JB has the fastest 1/4 time.
