330d Acceleration

I'm really pleased with it, TC lights up in 2nd gear on a dry straight road with 255/35/18's on. Does the performance look about right for a mapped 330d?

Yep - they are quick beasts...

Can't get over the fact that mine is so quick yet I get 42-44mpg from each tank.

Try it in the dry with traction fully off.

Rather fun - my 335d leaves nice "11" marks all over the tarmac every time

You have an LSD in it?

Quick!

It looks to me as though the TC light first comes on at 3secs (a reasonable indicator of when the clutch comes up?), and you hit 60mph on the dash at 9sec. So yeah that's about 6secs. Nice.


Who mapped it?

Thought a 335d would most likely leave a number 1

Eh? It had two rear tyres the last time I looked...

Turn traction off and floor it, it lights up the back tyres. Simple.

I've had mine break traction up to about 50 - 60mph under hard acceleration in the dry too. Narrow winter tyres tho.

As for turning the traction control fully off. 1 empty work car park, compacted snow and ice, even on winter tyres it was donutin`ell!
