60-130 was 7.28s--not great. I got a 6.75s in my '19 on a lesser map but could never combine it with a reliable launch and certainly not on this stretch of road. So far, that's not a problem for this M5... I've no idea what changed but I like it.

This particular road is literally as I describe it, it's a desolate farm road where I risk me and some corn... a lot of corn actually but mostly me. The undulations make the car light 4 or 5 times over the distance--it's disconcerting to say the least--but sphincter-clenching moments aside, that has a horrible impact on the 60-130 time because the length of each 'flight' (shall we say) gets longer the faster I go reducing forward propulsion.

It's fair to say this car needs to see a dragstrip and soon...
