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

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
You guys just tickle Znod on this matter. He can go on and on and on for days.
Have fun Znod

That's a good attitude, but unfortuately for me I like numbers and comparing them.

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

Don't mean to confuse you. We know that you are a performance-oriented guy. You provide great insight as to the performance potential of our e60s. Thanks!

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.

You are very welcome. Great about the meter. There is not much testing going on now. cobradav and grogan545i are waiting out the summer--as I am for the most part. I will be doing some testing though to see how my car reacts to very hot weather. It would be great to have you add to the testing thread.
