First 1/4 Mile Run with 2016 BMW 340i bone stock

Went to the drag strip last night, here are my numbers:

Rocky Mtn Raceway is at 4200 ft

RUN1 – 13.742 @ 102.56 mph – Sport+, DCT not fully defeated
RUN2 – 13.660 @ 103.67 mph – Sport+, full launch control
RUN3 – 13.676 @ 103.44 mph – Sport +, full launch control

As many of you know, for launch control to work you have to actually drive around a bit, not just wait until the engine is warm. I heard it was 6 miles but I tried it at 3 miles of circling the pits and it worked.

So that’s a bone stock 2016 340i AT M Sport w/ track handling on 19″ wheels, oem summer performance bridgestone runflats.

I’m doing a dyno run next week then it’s getting the stage 1 Dinan. I’m really excited to see how the claimed extra 95 rear-wheel ponies affect the dyno numbers and ETs.

And yes, my reaction times do suck :) Maybe that’ll get a little better next time, too.
