Yeah they knew we were coming. Had a trap set up for us but we weren't speeding when we came through it (limit was 70, we were doing 71-72). They pulled over 2 cars for following too close and as our group pulled off at the next exit to wait they found us and gave us a stern talking to. They claimed they had received reports from motorists that we were doing excess of 75-80 mph (we had spots of doing more like 110-120 but they didn't know that). I think 3-4 of the cars with us had shifters so thats how we knew it was coming.
Yeah since I work for Eurocharged I run their software but I have the newer N55 motor in mine and BMW's ecu is getting really hard to crack so the car is only partially tuned. We thought we would just have to take the ECU out to reprogram it so we were planning on doing so at the track but when I popped the hood we discovered the ECU placement is not the same and we would have to remove a lot of stuff to get to it so it didn't happen, then it started raining and we left the track.
With a bad track prep I ran a 13.7 but everyone there (even the guys with slicks) were about .5 -1 sec slower than normal. The car does have a partial tune and some bolt on's, dynoed it at 391ft/lbs @ the wheels so it's got some giddy up but HP is only about 340whp. With a full tune it should push it to about 400/400. I kept up with the N54 135/335's running stage II so if I am so luck to ever own an N55 again (or somehow swing keeping this one) I'd remove the ECU to get a full flash on it. These cars do so much with the right programming.
Even your 3.2l flat 6 gets a nice kick in the pants with our software. I think reprogrammed it's like 370hp/290tq.
