Ran 12.1 with my stock F80...NO LAUNCH
Went to my local drag strip at Yas Marina Circuit (same track which the YMB color is named after)
Ran 3 times first with launch and it was spinning in 1st, 2nd and 3rd....ouch time was 13.9 Then run two was with no launch just straight out with throttle modulation got a 12.1 at 191.06km (118.72mph) Car is completely stock with a child seat in the back. No items were taken off the car. I am scheduled to do the service this week and install Akrapovic downpipes plus ESS Piggy back which i already have sitting at home |

One of the more popular circuits for important events in recent years BTW. Search 918 yas marina, Hammond yas marina, Ferrari fxx yas marina. Some pretty good stuff. Last edited by eff 80; 12-31-2014 at 02:21 PM.. |

One the first time
i used launch and it was just spinning My car has 10,000km, so break in service was long done In all cases i used manual and dsc off completely on the 12.1, i was shifting manual It felt greasy with all the stuff on the ground Didn't like it but car has more in it. Also Yas Marina Circuit is in Abu Dhabi, not Dubai. Fun track |

Good to hear from you again uae247.
Good time and great trap speed for a loaded stock M3. Consistent with your earlier vbox runs. |

I haven't had a single good launch. Just like you I spun out well into 4th gear. I either need stickier tires or BMW needs to start looking at AWD in their M models.
