Thought I would give this app a try, actually it's cool but definitely not accurate.

My car is a 2018 340i MPPSK with claimed 360 HP.

Here is the result:

That's probably not too far off. Your car is probably 360whp (415-420bhp)

Unfortunately I don't have a dyno around to confirm.

Although the car pulls really hard and will spin the wheels in 4th gear, TBH I doubt 420 bhp.

How on earth does your car spin 4th gear?

4th gear? Are your tires bald?

[IMS-340C]

Hahaha no, tyres are new.

Flooring it in 4th gear at around 3000 rpm it spin the tyres and slides.

The tarmac here also is not so good.

Dude and you're asking about increasing your FD ratio???

Idk if your streets are covered in sand or what but I hook 1st gear on stock wheels and tires. You shouldn't be spinning through 4th.

[TreDirtyFive]

Exactly...greased streets or thrashed motor mounts? Or maybe on 15s?

Last time I drove a car that spun through 4th was a gutted FWD gti with 450hp. Lol

[IMS-340C]

I definitely don't need more power in 1st and 2nd gear, here on most highways we don't have speed limit so I would like more acceleration in 5th and 6th gear and 7th gear when I remove the speed limiter.

No sand it's just the tarmac here is not sticky in most areas, the wheel spin in 4th gear only happens when I floor it at around 3000 rpm in 4th gear, accelerating from a dig is fine it only spins in 1st gear.

My car is also RWD which doesn't help.

Will try to post a video soon.

For now here's a video of my car accelerating from 0 to 257 Km/h (GPS 250 Km/h), no launch control due to massive wheel spin.

I should note that all modern BMWs speedometers indicate around 3% more than the actual speed.

Yeah it must be smooth like glass. And granted i have a manual so my 4th gear is longer than your 4th gear, but like I said I could hook 1st on stock wheels and tires. That's crazy.

Reminds me of my last track day when my instructor an I were challenging the racing line, and you could tell the difference in grip between the racing line and off the line. Hundreds of thousands of cars had beaten the racing line smooth that you end up having a nice, grippy, rough surface off the racing line and half of the time you could carry more speed. At least in the wet where the effect was amplified.
