Quick cars, but I don’t miss mine at all.

As well as the 60-100 on our local deserted airstrip my test pilot tried some 0-100 runs using launch control.
Run one started with the spazpilot not engaging LC correctly, doing a rolling burnout and continuing into the run which was rubbish
Smoke, crabbing, massive 11, traction then great acceleration. Funny but rubbish.
Run two began with the correct LC start, smoking tyres, big 11 grip and great acceleration.
I need to find a private airstrip with better traction
For a family hatchback it really does haul quite well (500nm helps!)
Forget launch control; just put it in Sport+, select 2nd at a standstill and mash the throttle. That was by far the most epic way to get off the line in mine M135i

Open diff but has active differential braking to mimic a proper diff. It leaves big 11's and slides nicely so it works effectively enough.

It's basically 1 wheel drive
