The only chance you have for a decent gain is forced induction. Good luck. I hope it works out for you.

Significant traction issues in first gear with a supercharger. Need R888r tires aired down to 22psi to have a chance at hooking up on a warm dry road. Wet? Cold? Don't even bother.

I 100 percent agree. I wouldn't go the FI route but if you're looking to roll race or whatever it is kids these day like to do then it's the best bang for the buck. E92's are great jack of all trades cars that can be really track capable but they'll never make good high horsepower cars, in my opinion.

Totally agree. I personally think the e9X M3 is the best car for the money right now by far.
But it's no stop light drag car. Kudos to someone who wants to try tho. I bet with a supercharger and R888r tires aired down, it could do low 3's. Best I did was mid 3's with Pilot Super Sports at regular tire pressure (mid 30's) without launch control on my former e92 just stabbing the throttle off idle and short shifting at 6k rpm in first gear.

I'm sure someone could find a way to bolt some drag radials on it and get a decent 60 foot time in an M3. But then again, why? You're taking a multi dimensional car and making it one dimensional and still not very good at what it does.
