First stock 1/4 mile passes '16 E63 S
Went to the track last night for the first time with my new to me 2016 E63 S, made 3 runs (busy night there!), all within a tenth and 1 mph of each other, with my best at 11.75@118.56. Pretty happy for the first runs with this car, and I used Race Start for all runs.
I have to think the 60 foot can be much better for this AWD car, and it sure feels like the car should be able to launch at a higher rpms than what RS allows. I've tested before without RS and brake torquing, but the most I can get the rpms to hold at is like 2,000, which is basically like RS; that's with holding down hard on the brake with my left foot and basically flooring the gas pedal, it seems to initially rev up but drops down quickly to the 2,000 so I'm not able to launch higher
Any tricks/pointers?

That’s honestly about average for a 60ft time with RS (yes, it’s sad for an awd beast with 500+hp). You can do better brake torquing but there’s a fine line between too little rpm/boost and bogging and too much rpm and limp mode.

118mph with a 1.8s 60ft....shouldn't your trap speed be several mph higher? 
But then again, that's probably why Peter posted the link to correct the times. Maybe that'll help.
