Taking our F90 M5 to the 1/4 Mile in stock form
We completed the run in service last Friday and took it the drag strip on Sunday during a BMW event that was running that day.
We managed a 11.6 at 126 MPH and won the M Forced Induction Category with a stock car beating tuned M3/M4's and F10 M5's on the day. Next up we will be taking the car to a couple of different brands of dyno to see what it baselines at. |

solid numbers.....11 won't be hard to crack for you lot.
tune and air box should do the trick. |

What set up did you use? AWD vs RWD? Launch Control or not?
watched video, question answered. LOL. Mike

What was the density altitude? I figured it would do closer to 11.1 stock if the temperature and altitude is reasonable.. if the temperature is high and the altitude of the track is way above sea level then that alone would account for the half second slower quarter mile time

Very good time considering you couldn't use LC.
Also, the exit speed i damn impressive for a stock M5. |

Yes I was expecting low to mid 11's. This track does produce slower results than you guys get in the US though. We can never match your stock times.

The Eventuri prototype intake is ready for testing this week and once we've done a few K miles will start with the tuning process. Easily a 10 second car with just a tune.

Set an M button up with everything to Sport Plus and DSC OFF. Physically move the shifter to the right to put the trans in Manual Mode. Left foot HARD down on the brake, then right foot down FAST ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. Look at the Dash and you should see the tach at 2800rpm and the LC Flag.

Only odd thing I’ve found is the gas pedal has to be snapped down for the flags to activate. If I slowly push the gas pedal down it does not work. Good luck !
