Manual 135i Runs a 10 Second 1/4 Mile Pass @ 136mph!

It's been done but I don't know if there is a DIY out there like the N54. Here's a thread.

Ok cool. Thank you.

Well, I went back to the drag strip the other day. Made a decent shakedown pass, well on my way to setting a personal best.

Then I snapped an axle. This is the 3rd stock axle that I've snapped.

I'm sick of throwing junkyard axles in it and driving like I'm on glass, so I decided it's time to give the car the parts it really needs.

I'm also going to gut most of the car, but still make it presentable. Work in progress.

Goal is to have the car completely set up and ready by Sept 20th for NFZ 1/2 mile event.

Saw the video last night, that's a bummer! I was expecting to see a 10.5x pass when you posted it, but with all that new stuff and dropping weight I'm sure you'll see sub 10.5 this year. Hope we still get to still line them up at NFZ!

We'll see! My driving needs work, and so does the car.

Still planning on lining up at NFZ though

Luckily airstrip events are pretty forgiving on both driver error and the car. Most issues I have seen there are misfires/limp mode after the first 1/4 mile vs anything serious breaking.

Agreed. I've done NFZ twice already and hot lapped the car without issues. I love the airstrip events.
