My Ride: 2006 E60 M5 (Sepang Bronze/Natural Brown)

RPi Scoops & Block Off Plates with BMC Filters
Eibach Pro-Kit Springs
20" Breyton Race CS in Polished Silver
I only did two runs last night! And then had to rush home for dinner!
My first run was with MDM on, D5. And I got a lousy 13.334@187km/h. My 2nd run I decided to run in S6 with DSC off of course. But had to be very gentle off the line.. but stil can't seem to control the bogging!
Now I know for a fact that if I had done another run, I would have used Launch Control for the first time in my life... and most certainly knocked a whole second of my time. But I would probably have ended up with my rear end diffs or shaft all over the start line!
I was running on OEM wheels and OEM Conti tyres.
Here's the video of my 2nd run
