Fastest in the world.......great moment to see and Donovans reaction afterwards was pricless.


"I broke off my shift knob and broke this button too! It was a shit show in my car during that run"


LOL....videos and pictures to come for sure.


Congrats Donovan, you deserve it.

[stanksbeamen]

GOD! Nice run, awesome all around! Congrats dude. ;)

[bubela]

Mike still has the fastest trap by what.. .05mph?

I met Mike today and was amazed by his 9.7 run.. Can't imagine what this 9.2 will look like.

Congratulations Donovan. That's insane.

Nice runs.

Loving a 1.414 short time! Congratulations for being the quickest BMW street car on the BFc Drag Racing forum board!

Can't wait to see how Andreas responds .. he's been sleeping for years now!

[StreuB1]

Wow Ive been away for a while...

Fastest H-pattern BMW powered BMW in the world. Andreas held down the 9.42 for almost 6 years....and this would be considered shattering it. Too bad you dont have a racepak to get some car data down to see "what made up the time"

Too bad its not an M20 in it!! ;)

Belated Congrats!!

[BMWSOB]

Thanks Streub! Hopefully getting it back together shortly here to start retuning. Hoping to go a little quicker this year.

I do have datalogs from the run if you're interested. I'd definitely be curious of your opinion. :D

[StreuB1]

I'll take a peek!

Im more interested in some data that you probably werent logging. Driveshaft RPM, accelerometer data and rear end compression vs engine data. Trying to get my head around whats going on in these cars and how the engine is loading up and handling the load vs how the car is transfering the load.

[boostdog]

i love that it's a street car! do you actually drive it on the street? if so holy crap that would be fun to see. nice runs!

I was my daily driver for the longest time and will be again once its back running again. Lots of new stuff and completely different set up. Here's a link to the current update thread. http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1426559
