Launching a 335xi auto

grkmec · 05-17-2008, 08:20 PM

I was messing around with my car this morning and I found that the car will not let you brake boost above 2,500 rpm. There is no way I could find to break the tires loose with stock power. BTW, I have the stock 162 rims with the summer rubber.

You can't break the tires loose even with 100hp over stock and traction control off in pouring rain.

2200-2500rpms is the best rpm range to launch at.

i'm not sure if this statement is true.
if im not mistaken, i was driving next to a 335 and he was definitely breaking the tires while accelerating, he was pushing the car sooooooooo hard

so can you guys confirm that you can not brake boost to more than 2,500 rpm?

We are talking about 335xi AWD. I have never broke the tires loose even with PROcede V2 and traction control off.

You can, but the torque management system will cut your rpm's down to 2500 as soon as you launch.

I launched my xi today w/traction control all off & it felt like the car bogged for a second before it started going...

Brake boost at just under 2500 RPM works best for me in DS, I can't break loose the tires with everything off unless I take gun it from a stop while turning and then I get a nice little drift action.
