With my 225hp 530i, I can get 0-60 in less than 4 second. Seriously! Ask my how. I'm not joking.

Brake torque to about 1.2k with the car in M1. Then, floor it, and avoid hitting anything. Be sure and disable both DSC and DTC first.

I never car for 0-60 time. It depends on many variables. I only care how fun the car is

Oh yeah, whenever Znod sees "0-60" or " straight line acceleration" in the subject line, you know for sure you've got his attention.

I'm confused.
I'll be doing some 1/4 mile runs soon! Will be ordering the G-meter and need to find a secluded road somewhere in San Diego.
