You're doing this at a drag strip, right?

After you destroy your transmission let us know how the tow service was.

Doesn't the 7AT have a safeguard that prevents revs past 2k RPMS or something while the brake is depressed as a safe guard? Could be wrong but swear I read this somewhere.

There are some tips in the drag racing thread somewhere on this forum. If you have never raced the car before, go check that out. Some folks who had some really excellent 60ft times shared their launch techniques.

This sounds like the most depressing drag race of all time.

I think your time is better spent doing literally anything else.

FYI, in the end you still win even if you never raced because he bought the wrong 3 series

Turn off TC. Practice when you're completely, utterly alone at a light.

The forum frowns on street racing threads, so... IBTL.

Yes, this one is walking the line, and getting close to slurring words and not being able to recite the alphabet, so if you intend to race your buddy take the previous replies to heart and do this at a designated raceway. Or come back and tell us how it went on the street and all this stuff will be vaporized.
