Plenty of people would say it was pointless for you to tune a car that makes 560hp and is already traction limited. And I always get a kick out of how some bmw owners think they are driving some collectable high end car when its a mass produced middle class car. 100K wont build you much of a drag car btw, hell I have more than that in my drag 1989 Nissan.
EXACTLY!! Drag tyres, recaro seats are a 30mnt replacement + the only point of installing the drag tyres on this exact car is to achieve mid 10s on the strip. + turning a car to a drag car isnt "ruining" the car, it depends on the owner and what he wants the car for.
