do a google search for 1/4 mile calculator.. your time based off horsepower and weight, tires, etc..it gets you in the ball park..I believe richmond gear has a calculator

For your 535xi you'll need about 380wheel hp min. and a good reaction time to crack the 13's

I found a few stock 535xi's 1/4 mile times which ranged from 13.90-14.010! With 380rwhp I bet those numbers would drop in the low to mid 13's.

Perhaps even a bit lower!

Guys check out the new iPhone application called Dynolicious for $13... it has been tested against the GTech and it beat it! and was almost exactly the same as the drag strip timing...Check out the test video here Dynolicious iPhone App test Video it is very cool and for $200 you also get a great phone!!!!!!
