Have you done any Vbox runs or 1/4 drag strip runs? I am assuming you haven't run any 123-130mph trap 335i BMWs yet, I'm sure they would be hanging a little better. I would be curious to see what your 60-130 times are. Post some Vbox or dragstrip time slips!
Proper race fuel or meth is what is needed for higher HP 335i BMWs.
My car runs 11.7 at 123.4mph, 0-60 in 3.4 seconds, the way I drive it every day. 91 octane + CM Basic kit) Quiet, stock looking/sounding sedan.
With the dryshot, here is a video of a 130mph qtr run. 11.3 at 130mph+, 0-60 in 3.3 seconds, easy second gear launch, with no warm up burnout. With 1st gear launch and better traction, this is a 10 second sleeper.
(car runs 7.2 sec 60-130):

And here is 6.9 second 60-130 time on the similarly equipped 335i coupe:

Nope haven't done those kinds of tests honestly. The best I have done are 1/4 drag strip runs with stock tires, track laps and the occasional street race.
Here's a couple of videos of my drag strip runs

And an in-car video of my instrument cluster
M5 Acceleration!

There is nothing better than beating some unsuspecting muscle cars in a four door sedan!

I'm hoping I can find a stock M5 to run against!
I'm getting 3.9-4.3 sec 0-60 times with a lazy 2nd gear launch..
0-100 in 8.7 seconds, should edge out a CTS-V.
Here is a 9.9 second 60-130mph run.

Edit: 0-100 is now 8.2 seconds.
60-130mph is 9.32 seconds.

60-130mph run is way fast, super fast!

As I was driving through the local Carls Jr, I noticed a couple of nice Cobras parked with the owners both admiring and talking in front of their cars. A bright orange coupe, and a dark colored convertible. I couldn't resist. I drove by and built up a little brake boost as I drove by. I watched as they both stared. I can only imagine what was going through their heads...but probably something like "Are you kidding me, what are you going to do in that slow BMW?" They jumped in their cars and went out the first exit and drove by me, with the orange one blaring a mean loud exhaust note.
We all hit the onramp pretty fast and I was pulling on them. I let off the throttle and waited for them to let up. I then accelerated past them and let off again. They then surrounded me, one on the left, and one on the right. They fell for the trap. Now I was ready to show them some uninterrupted full throttle acceleration. The orange one fiercely roared with the supercharger whining, but I walked him pretty easily. The convertible always got left behind each time. We ran about 6 times, and they got left behind each time. Now if I were in a Corvette, it would be no big deal. But a stock looking 3 series sedan schooling a couple of terminators, bet they weren't expecting that to happen! So much more fun driving a sleeper.
I know, I know...lots of 9 second, 700rwhp Cobras running around. But I will probably still beat most of the Cobras I see driving around 10:1. And I can guarantee you, most of them probably thought I would be easy pickings. One thing I am starting to notice, Cobra (the Terminators) drivers are way more likely to run you than the average Corvette you see driving around. Most are a cool bunch.
As I ran today...no N20, but my car still runs about 3.4 sec 0-60, and 11.7 at 123mph in the qtr. I was kind of bummed I didn't have my regular camera, but then remembered I could use the phone. So I took a video of one of the runs to give you an idea of how most of them looked. Things to note: As they waited to line up, you can hear the loud orange Cobra with his engine revving, ready to go, and by the end of the video, look at how far he left the black one behind in those few short seconds. In other words, you can analyze the video, and see the acceleration of my car is legit.
