Beat me ;-)
I really think my Singapore Bird runs better than ever before. I was never able to produce a 3.6 secs. Can you beat me ;-) Show me your laptimer screenshots.
I have to admit, I find it quite hard to reach times below 4.0. I heard people claim before that under 4 is a given on the F10 M5. But I have to tell you that 9 out of 10 of my runs are above 4. Of course all bone stock non CP 2013 F10 M5. Stock engine (well once drowned before ;-), stock exhaust, tires etc. Suspension on comfort. Will put in the BMS stage 1 this week and RPi air scoops. Let's see how that changes numbers. BTW, we are on again this week, August 14 at Joe Canal's on RT 1 for the weekly/bi-weekly meet'n'cruise - we had so much fun last week. See NJ sub forum for details.

But again, I have probably tried a total of 50+ 0-60s with the laptimer and none has been 3.6. One was 3.8, multiple ones 3.9 and all other 4.0 and more. Btw., one nice set of cars there, @Vic55 ;-)

I pulled a 3.1 0-60. Someone on here calculated it based on my time slip.

"lunch control" usually slows me down because I'm 2 lbs heavier.

In case you haven't noticed this is a car enthusiasts' forum and I would imagine that how fast our cars accelerate is of interest to most of us. I'll admit I'm not a big 0-60 guy and I will probably never use launch control but a big, heavy, rwd "saloon" car getting to 60 that quickly is pretty impressive. I didn't want to buy a race car, just a blazing fast luxury sedan.

Just to clarify: My intention is really not to brag about the 3.6 but I am rather trying to make the point of how difficult I find it to generate these times. Wanted to check in with everybody if that is a shared sentiment or if other here on the forum can run under 4 secs laptimer times every time without a problem.
I do get a better kick out of rolling acceleration and certainly much better out of cornering but this is a lot of fun too ;-)

I think this comment indicates you're ready for a 7 series.
