The exit speeds at the straights are all right around high 130's-140mph, which translates to those times. You were pulling high 130's. The scrubs helped you or else you'd be in the mid-high 2:40s which is nothing to be ashamed of.

Honestly, I have no idea of what's a good time at Road America...first time there. I think the conditions play a huge factor. Morning times will almost never be good this time of year. It takes a full day for the track to get rubbered up and really grippy.
But here's the lap. Its a 2:39...I even watched it in slow motion. Its the 20th lap of the weekend. 4th session of the instructor group, 3 laps from the end. Harry's had a video malfunction on this session for some reason.
Specs on the car:
2011 E90 with 3 options - individual color, DCT, ipod.
Square OEM 18x9.5s
275 conti scrubs square (fronts were falling off at this point)
75mm stud conversion
Stoptech BBK 6pot front/4pot rear with SR34 pads front and rear
GC camber plates (-2.5 camber)
Dinan springs
Dinan front sway bar
Non-EDC shocks
Dinan Pulley
BMW Performance steering wheel, grills and side markers
IND painted reflectors
1/2 tank of gas
I weigh 175lbs
Rear seat and air compressor was taken out
Schroth mini quick fit harness
I was in M Mode, DSC Off, Power off, S4 shift mode.
IMO, most make the mistake of going Power, EDC sport, and S5. It just makes the car ride harder and twitchier.
