Well my original email a year ago, i gave them make, model, year, engine (N63tu3) and vin#.

All of the other emails have just been "hello - me again, just checking in, any updates?"

When using email, they use the same ticket reference number, so I just replied every time....to the same email.... with the same ticket number.

Lol- I read “hello - me again” and had a good little laugh. We’ve all been there… we may all be there again soon. Thanks for sharing!

I went down a rabbit hole on Tesla Model 3s and how they go quicker with smaller, lighter wheels. Particularly 0-100. Has anyone tested this with our cars (or M5)?

Just uploaded my run to draggy. Might go for the stock record instead of the world record since my mods are off now haha. Best case scenario on the oem run flats is probably a 1.8 60ft and 3.5 0-60 for an 11.39 ET

Unfortunately there's no draggy world records. I personally like the draggy, but all you have to do is put the draggy in another car and claim that it's yours.

You have no way to tell what the mods are on a car, you have no way to tell if they're running slicks or fuel type. Also what elevation are they at and what is the density altitude. Too many variables to state that someone has a world record.

So with that said, there is no such thing as a true draggy leaderboard. I do respect the ones that have videos of the car and it's time to back up the claim.

I can have my m550 run 7's, 8's or 9's in a quarter mile if I wanted to on Draggy.

Well I certainly have plenty video of all of my runs. 0-60 2.6
Many 10.3 runs. In 80 degree weather. And soon it will be 9s did it on a limping axle
And yes and videos for each one. I am the world record holder

Also dragy’s actually run slower than the track time. I had a m5 client I did a xHP setup on prove it. He is not on our engine tune yet he was with gtp Motorsport but here is real world data from the track and dragy at the same time

I did say that I respect those that have videos to back it up. Still leaves the fact that there is no way for your average person reviewing the draggy leaderboard to actually know what is done to the car.

Take Mark for example, he fully documented his entire build. He could have just said that he had bolt-ons, tune and xhp. Maybe even said he had upgraded turbos.. No one would truly know the work done to the vehicle if he didn't publicly document the full build.

My draggy is 3 10th's slower than the track time, but I also get low satellite, so I just assumed it was the location of the drag strip.

I agree. But here in the U.S. it's like the Bible to a lot of people.

Guys sorry if the message was confused. I am just truly an enthusiast and we also really want to change the game I love all g30s! I think the m550i is really a gem. I plan to really be able to help all of us achieve 9s which much greater ease. We also almost have 2wd done to be able to switch Oem style, just for different purposes. We will be able to provide a safe method for all with various stages and also once building it is efficient for more power that will also become a thing. Dragy is accurate and there are obvious ways to tell when it’s inaccurate like over 2g spikes or extremely high spikes late. It is often times slower by a couple tenths of a second. Also street versus track, track is always faster times with proper setup. I am all positive especially lci cars included for whoever wants to with either model will be able to achieve 9s. I also like to help with whatever anybody wants to achieve in general . We like to make the impossible possible. It is hard when you are trying to create something new and trying to gain support so I would really appreciate you guys support and anybody that sees this and if you have questions just ask.

Wow. I needed XHP on a prepped surface to 11.45. And that was with a negative 149 metre DA. Mind you it was only 10c and I spun a fair bit so it would go quicker with the same DA and warmer temps.

I wanted to see any LCI cars with downpipe e30 stg2 bm3. I feel like BM3 will get to mid 10s or even better. Before throwing meth and other stuff to it...

A year later, how has your car held together since doing the RK tunes? You had great draggy times, a testament to the power produced but curious about longevity.

Worth at least a full second off the 1/4. MPower floor mats are worth another 0.5 sec. 😀
