Derek ran a 13.01 @ 116.28 in the M5. 2.33 60' times without "Launch Control". Interesting that both times are identical, but big difference in the trapspeeds.

The difference is in the 60ft too..
The E63 got a pretty decent launch of 2.0 where the M5 didn't do too well with a 2.33..
With a 2.0 60ft, the M5 should be running 12.50s no problem... thats a fast trap speed too..

Brand new, flint grey, ventillated seats and all the other options; never raced, broken-in in the most gentle way possible.
First, the good news. The car feels much more responsive, steering inputs are deliberate, brakes seem stronger and I'm willing to bet this car would do great on a road course.
Unfortunately, we were on the drag strip tonight where the car didn't do well. Best run was 13.01 @ 108.84 mph. Launching is super easy with the reduced torque. The best 60' time was 2.03 on the stock Contis.
Overall, it felt weaker down low than the E55 and weaker up top than the
M5. With all that being said, I LOVE the new "Max Cool" button on the AC controls--no more dialing it down one degree at a time.

max cool is cool,
11.95's @118.6 even better. The E63 was unfairly branded based on this one run and it seems the stigma lives on, hopefully it will die soon
Funny stuff in this thread, this is where the 63 hate was born....your 13@108 aint even in the top 500 passes for the 63

I just can't see it picking up 7MPH (70HP worth) of trap speed to get where most would expect from more miles....
bad weather could account for up to 3MPH, bad gas? we'll have some more times soon.... I don't we can judge the E63 as a whole yet....
I want to see an M6 pull 120+ traps..... magainze test's don't count.....

Your run was not bad, That is the point of the re-hash. The N/A motor is crippled by many things but mainly humidity and heat. A person such as yourself [B](professional driver) should of more clearly pointed the conditions out. Plenty of E55's in the heat have run similar times, it is ridiculous to ignore the plethora of poor E55 passes and then to fail to acknowledge the 11.95 from the 63
the 63 does not need luck it needs seat time.
Seems you guys never owned up to all your baseless claims once the wall came crumbling down.
How about " ***K , nice to see the 63's hitting those times" that would have been cool

im going for a low blow here, and its your own insecurities surrounding your 63 that brought this thread up, if you were that confident in its abilities thru your own work (as you should!!!!!!!!) and data you would have no need to rehash a thread that was started a year ago

I have to say, stock-for-stock, the first page is peppered with E63s:

ChicagoX: , You know I know You know how I feel and I know you know I know you are a supporter of Drag Racing and have respect for the folks who participate. You are a great driver and I would love to run you
Jay: We have been down this road a thousand times, I have a healthy respect for you and your car, a very healthy respect. The re-hash was intended for the OP and the others who seem to hide when a 63 runs a good number
Albert: We have addressed this in the past as well amongst numerous other spats we always work it out. Your top notch no doubt
Derek:My apologies if you find my post classless, but I have been trying to repair the damage your run caused for 2 years. May of 2007 we started the quest to match the 55 numbers, it will be done and it will happen this year. A 63 will soon top the list , ENZOM has been on top too long.
Wayne is keeping the 63 at bay with his tremendous runs, but nothing can stop the momentum, top end is opening up as the 63's accumulate miles, its just a matter of time.

I actually think the thread needed an update and maybe even a conclusion. Many guests will search these forums, reading threads that are a few years old and accept it as a general judgment or classification in this case for the E63. However, now after almost two years of exposure, the E63 is seeing more track time (although still miniature compared to the E55), and showing a more representative picture.
The E55 is still King in the east coast with fastest time of 11.77 @ 118.x vs the E63's 11.95 @ 118.x. Unless we can somehow get a ZERO or NEGATIVE DA track with good prep here on the west coast, the E55 numbers will hold for a long time.

Unfortunately......I'm no longer stock.
I was going to surprise a couple of people at the May 17 drag day, but the cat's out of the bag now. LET Stage 1, with Stage 2 coming next week.

i thought we were moving in a positive direction, i guess not. There is one major post and you think when people search they will use this as the holy grail of the 63 failure
There have been multiple posts of fast times putting Dereks numbers to shame, and your one big black eye from 2 years ago you feel a need to defend to save the face of the 63 motor, im speechless.......
