Hey all
I have some minor stuff and evolve stage 1 tune on my 19 M550 xdrive and read some people start in 2nd, some people shift themselves and wondered what is actually best to do? I've done invalid 11.2's and valid 11.4's at 122 by just using launch control /sport plus and leaving shifter in sport to the side and letting the car do its own thing.

Thanks in advance for any feedback

I'm recording faster 1/4 miles in sport automatic. However, 100-200kph/60-130mph run are faster when I manually change at peak power (6000rpm).

Interesting, Yes I feel like power drops off about 500 rpms before redline honestly. Thanks for info, great build on your car btw.
