5.7 was just flooring it from a standstill. No launch control. Traction control etc was on. When it was stock, my 330i did the 0-60 in 6.xs, sometimes even more, under the same conditions. Remember. This is without launch control or brake boosting. There is lag till around 2000rpms before she picks up her skirt and runs.
And I'm not sure how people get 5.2s 0-60 with xdrive. My car stock was definitely slower. I did some runs stock without a dragy and it was always in the 5.5-5.7s range with LC.
I am assuming tires play a big role in the 5.2 number BMW claims. It was probably equipped with sticky summer tires when they tested.

I'm very impressed with the 4.7 and 13.1 quarter mile time you posted. That's prior gen 340i like numbers. Maybe even slightly faster in the quarter mile.
