M5 owner/driver here. Was really fun working with Dan on this and really enjoyed the morning at the airstrip. I don't often get to stretch the legs on my F90 so it was worth the trip for me. Certainly the M5 Comp would have been a better comparison but he used what was available and I was happy to leave at 3:30AM from NY to help with this content. If you've ever wondered what goes into this, I'd be happy to answer any questions. I'm also not the most experienced driver but I tried my best for all the M5s out there! Times are linked in the video but ended up with an 11.08@127.33 in the quarter mile winning by .1 seconds . |

Little surprised he pulled you on the rolls, I've ran 2 E63s and pulled on them top end. |

I'm using not the freshest PS 4Ss. What is QS3? (Quick shift 3rd setting?) Another minimal point is that the merc was running less than a quarter of a tank and I was full. The link in the video should have the best times. I'm listed as the 2018 M5 comp on row 27: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...QWeaY/htmlview |

Yes QS3 is the programming on our ZF8s (and other BMWs). The transmission only has 100(?) "hard" launches at the fastest setting. After the 100 launches, you will still be able to launch but it will not enable QS3 for the fastest shifts possible. There is no indicator on this so you will not know unless you count your launches. Wish you guys had the same fuel load and octane. Maybe try experimenting with octanes if you get another chance, I've done 100-91 mix to get 93 and it works well since we don't get 93 in SoCal. Tires also plays a big part in this, obviously more so for your dig runs. Nevertheless great job! If you had leveled the playing field with a minor HP bump with a DP or something, I could see you pulling him easily. |

I doubt I'd do another video since it was more of a one time learning experience. Not to mention the 3:30AM start time but totally should keep variables to a minimum! Maybe I'd reach out to Dan again when I get a new car, so interested in the M3 xdrive. |
