35i performance test - data and video

Hi Guys, i have been looking with great interest at posts on another forum concerning engine remapping as this is something i might want to do to my 35i.

However, i am somewhat disappointed not to see any empirical evidence of what spending say $1000 on a new map can do.

I see videos of drivers trying to video the speed vs rpm increase, but this is all subjective.

I run a data logger business and decided to see exactly what a stock 35i will do on a dry track (acceleration)

Below are 2 videos showing that BMW quoted 5.1 is in fact right on the money!

Sorry about the bleeps, this is the logger telling me that i have achieved a measurement point.

Launch control sounds like LOADS of fun :driving: :evil:

Impressive :thumbsup:
 
Wow that difference between launch control or not is surprising.

A manual 35i would be lucky to crack 6.5 secs driven normally then? I know driving isn't like that.
 
Launch control i like alot! love all the measurements its great to see the accuracy of the figures, thanks for posting! :thumbsup:
