540i 1/4 mile?

walterm321 · 03-11-2023, 09:23 PM

I’m going to be taking my 2019 540i to the Dragstrip sometime soon to do a couple runs and see what I can get out of it . I’ve searched and can’t find any 1/4 mile times for a 540i at an actual dragstrip. Lots of m550s but no 540s. I have a Racechip GTS Black and Dinan exhaust. I’m expecting mid 12s at 110 or so but am just curious if anyone else has been and what they ran? I live in Maryland and will be going to MIR which is one of the fastest strips in the country. 80’ above sea level with very good DA this time of year. I bought a new C6 Z06 back in 2008 and used to take it to the dragstrip all of the time but haven’t been since I sold it back in 2011.

Thanks. It probably won't be for a couple weeks but I'll post the results when I do.

Waiting to see results.

Unfortunately I still haven’t gone. Weather hasn’t been cooperating. I’ll be out of town next weekend so it won’t be until the 2nd or 3rd weekend in April. I’ll definitely post up when I do.

Old thread but here you go with a 2018 540i xDrive 1/4 mile at the drag strip yesterday. BM3 stage 2+ E30. The car was moving!

Any other modes beside the tune?

MikeS300 · 09-23-2023, 07:35 PM

Just the required mods for that tune. VRSF catted high flow down pipe. B58tu HPFP. I have a spool ethanol Bluetooth sensor. Nothing else crazy
