Went to the drag strip last night. I didn't plan on taking my car to the track this week so I had a full tank of gas but got it down to 3/4 by the time I got there. I usually lower my rears to 27-30 psi but decided to start with them as is(38psi) and see what happens. First pass went 12.2 off a 1.87 60'.

Whats weird is that that was my best pass of the day and even after lowering my tire pressure I couldn't cut a better 60' Ran five 12.3x passes, here is a video of one of them:

What is done to the car? Dinan and RPI what?

 

Dinan Exhaust(mufflers only) dont think they really make power
RPI Ram Air Kit

 

Nice to see a local M5 owner. I almost went to the strip on Saturday..

 

Nice job Darrin!

 

Where are ya from?

 

Thanks Drew.

 

I live in Bloomfield but spend most of my time near Woodward/Royal Oak area.

 

Very nice!

1.8 60'? That's awesome!!! What kind of 60' did you expect?

 

I went 1.87, was hoping for 1.85 or better

 

Seriously. I could never do better than a 2.0. That's a STRONG E60!

 

Thanks. My goal is 12.1 this year

 

Bonehead, I see you M5 on dragtimes. What mods do you have?

 

Sorry, just saw this post.
Don't remember which I had exactly when I posted those times. I think:

Evosport headers, Eisenmann Race mufflers, Evosport pulley, Evosport Stage II ECU, RPI scoops. Best I could muster was a (I think) a 12.0x at Atco (a notoriously fast track). This was on 20" wheels and winter temps. Could never get my 60' below 2.0
Another M5 owner ran 11.9x with DR's and the Dinan 3.91 diff.

 

Thats still very good, with a better 60' you would be well into the 11's
