I don't know if BMW puts a limiter on cars but my BMW bike (S1000RR) had an electronic limiter until the end of break-in period. And dealer cancels the limiter on the break-in maintenance which also activates slick mode after that. Only explanation that I can think of is this one  |
Yea, you know the thing is M550i was suppose to be a step up for me for 0-60 game. Because with the Challenger i did 4.1 with warm tires, but i still had so much wheel-spin ( i actually pulled a 3.8s 0 to 60 on the track with the challenger with 12.2 quartermile). I thought going AWD would put me under 4 secs since BMW advertises it as 3.6s. I know i can run a JB4 and get those numbers easy but i was suppose to be there stock and sub 3s with JB4
Plus my friend got an S8 that is pulling 3.6s from a launch and i wanted to be in the same numbers. I'm crossing my fingers that after the break in something will change. I will schedule a service visit to BMW for the 1200.
