I don't see a lot of xi/x-Drive videos around, so here I share videos of my 2008 335xi - mods in signature - with pump 94 octane.

Here's a 0-200 km/h (0-125 mph) recorded on a private road.
0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in approx 4.2 seconds.
0-200 km/h (0-125 mph) in approx 13.5 seconds.

Here are 1/4 mile races vs. 400+ bhp cars: SRT-8 Challenger (470 bhp), 5.0L Mustang GT (420 bhp), Stage 3 Audi A3 (405 bhp). Note that I had a full tank of 91 octane for these 1/4 mile races, so I was on JB4 map 1 not map 2 (with 94 octane I run 12.6 @ 109 mph).

I've a lot of videos of my 335xi on my YouTube channel so you can subscribe if you're interested: http://bit.ly/1eRxCsI

Any idea what the A3 was running?

Videos look great + nice runs. What mount are you using in the car?
I just ran the 335i for the first time on Sunday and wish I had something like this to record it. Dying to try the 335xi at the track...what rpm do you brake boost to ?

I think it was an APR Stage 3 kit.

I'm using a GOPRO Hero 3 with the suction cup mount. I brake boost around 2750 rpm, sometimes a little more

No, I was on map 5. That was before the BMS backend flash (PUMP).

J'ai vendu mon set-up Bilstein/Eibach parce que je commence à "part out" mon auto. Je vais la vendre au printemps prochain.

I've sold my Bilstein/Eibach set-up because I've started to part out my car. It will be for sale next spring.

I went to the drag strip on Saturday morning. It was a cool (7 Celsius, 44 F) but sunny day. My best 1/4 mile run so far, 12.627 @ 109.07 MPH was achieved last year, before the BMS backend flash, and with a mix of 91/94 octane.
With no other mods except BMS Pump backend flash and a tank of 94 octane (and cold day), I ran multiple 12.3's and 12.4's, with a best run of 12.375 @ 110.46 MPH (60 foot: 1.728). I'm very happy with the results Note that I've stock DPs, stock inlets, no meth, and there is not E85 around here.

Thank you. I was running map 2, which targets 17 psi in midrange and tapers to 12-13 psi near redline... This was done at Napierville Dragway, on last Saturday Oct. 10. During weekend, it costs 20$ for >13.0's cars, and 30$ for <12.99's cars. During week day, it costs around 10$ whatever ET you run.

With catless downpipes I'm sure you can trap +1-2 mph and run 12.2.

I drove in to Joliette 2 weekend ago, I went to the Parc Régional de la Chute-à-Bull in St-Come.

Cool vids. I'm on a similar power level except I have ETS intake, FMIC and ER CP.

Do you have catless downpipes? It looks like we are not many people running a FBO set-up minus DPs. I kept my OEM cats because I want to keep my car "street legal".

You should do a meth kit. I ran mine with stock DP's and meth for a while. Meth makes a big difference and will be reliable if setup right. Should get you close to 12.0

Stock downpipes. No plans to go catless any time soon.

This is my winter car so I'm trying to keep it fairly conservative but fun.

Yea chute a bull is a great spot bro ! Specially in fall with all the colors ! So its 10 bux during the week for like 3 runs ? Or ilimited runs ? Also my map 2 only targets 15 psi i think its because of your backend flash right ? On the n55 i think its not doing anything

Always illimited runs, weekdays and weekends. If you don't have backend flash, that means you run option 4/3 and target 15 psi in map 2. With backend flash and option 4/2 you will run 17 psi in map 2.
