Changed tuners. M850 flys ❤️

My 2019 M850 has been tuned for over 25,000 miles with an E30 Stage 2 tune with Vrsf catless downpipes only. No issues ever. Some will want to know that. I've held all the m850 records on draggy for almost 2 years I guess. Decided to go with an xhp tranny tune by toretto shifts. (Brandon Lewis) Works flawlessly!! Brandon convinced me to give Baski Speedworks a shot and Mark Baski dialed my car in on E40 in 5 revisions. All done through Bm3. On an absolute perfect day with some tailwind I went 10.50@134. with first E30 tune. I went out over this last weekend early in the morning with new tune and proceeded to run (against 10-12mph headwind) a 10.25. Previously 60-130 was 6.88 best and best now (only 2 runs) 6.56.
There's nothing special about my car. You can run like this too. I'll have a 10.1 timeslip very soon.

Both the car and results look great!

Question on the Trunk CF spoiler and the bumper CF vents. Are those BMW original or aftermarket? If aftermarket, could you please advise where you purchased them? Thanks

First mods were done at Performance Eurowerks in Chicago. That included BM3 license, E30 tune and 93 tune. 1250.00
They also installed VRSF catless downpipes 500.00 . The downpipes I brought. 600.00.
New tune from Baski Speedworks was 700.00.
Toretto shifts custom tune using Xhp 400.00 plus the Xhp license. So not bad at all really to get here.

Very impressive times. I don’t think I’ve seen an M850i this quick before. This is basically running the same times as an M8 with the same mods.

No you haven't. I have all #1 spots on M850i dragy app. Considered Fastest M850 in the world right now but I shared the info for anyone to do the same. Waiting to be dethroned 🙈😅

What's the reason for going 40/35 from the previous set up? If I recall, you had 255/45-20 + 285/30-20. Do you still have the 15/20 spacers F/B?

It was 255 35 20
285 30 20

Softer ride with taller profile and it's night and day. Nitto didn't make a 255 40 so went 245 plus the little stickout with 20mm spacer up front was corrected with the 245 .
Still have spacers.
