Trading F80 M3 for 2020 X3MC any Dragy 0-60MPH Results?

So just picked up a Dragy 10Hz GPS Based Performance Meter so did some initial testing on standing start 0-60mph real world tests of the 3 cars currently in my household to see how they stood up against each other. Each of the results posted and referenced were the best of about 5 different runs that were done on each vehicle. Because this is the BMW forum I will provide some additional info on my F80 M3 it is a 2016 model loaded non-competition with 8k miles on the clock, it is completely stock when it comes to aftermarket mods/tunes and is running on the original factory rubber Michelin Pilot Sports (non 4s) as they are 4 years old and would guess the rears have 20-30% of tread remaining.

So here are the times and draggy strips for the 3 vehicles currently in the garage 0-60mph:

1. 2016 BMW M3 F80 non-comp (stock no-tunes): 5.13s
2. 2013 BMW 335is Convertible (stock no-tunes) with Michelin PS4s: 5.75s
3. 2019 Volvo XC60 T6-R Design AWD Polestar tune from Factory: 5.89s
4. 2020 X3MC Spartanburg PCD Late Feb '20 : ??? Please Post Some Results


My biggest issue on running the standing start on the F80 M3 times was getting the back tires to connect, it seems no matter what I tried I was getting significant wheel spin off the line and even on the 1-2 shift. I tried several setups including one using the launch control (with DSC fully inactive) which was an epic fail as tires just lit up for what seemed like forever and I lost a ton of time. Also tried no LC start in Manual mode with MDM traction control and Sport+ in all settings and that is 5.13s time presented still had plenty of the trac light flashing in both 1 and 2nd. I fully know this vehicle is capable of much quicker 0-60mph (Factory rated 3.9s with DCT) but in my experience they were not easily achievable with my tires and current setup. And while I have known this basically since I got the vehicle new, this is not a mash the accelerator off the line and expect to be quick vehicle. Takes a lot more finesse of the pedal to get the rear tires to connect and then lay into the power to run a quick time. This vehicle shines in so many other aspects but quick standing start 0-60mph in real word scenarios that are easily repeatable without much effort is IMHO not one of those areas. Others who have dragy results and either F80 or X3MC would love for you to share some of your slips, setups and feedback on specifically running the 0-60mph times.

Will say most impressed with the sleeper Volvo XC60 T6 posting a 5.89s 0-60mph while Admittedly no where near as fun or as visceral as the F80, clearly shows the advantage of having AWD for running timed 0-60mph pulls. So to wrap this up, my 2016 F80 is being traded into the dealer and I will be moving to a 2020 X3M Comp for the next 3 years on Lease. Couldn’t pass up on the December programs and the $699/mo payment incl. 7% FL tax. Post that or possibly earlier if I LeaseTransfer would love to move back to an M3 in the future G80 platform with M xdrive. Will probably wait at least until the 2022 MY as curious to see the real-world feedback and give BMW time to work-out any of the early bugs.

Thanks this is very exciting and is exactly why I'm looking forward to make the move from my '16 M3, great car in so many aspects but just tired of always fighting it for traction under full or near full throttle. Looking forward to the MXdrive putting the power down without all the fuss off the line. If I can consistently run 0-60mph pull sub 4s with the X3MC without having to have all the stars align I will be a very happy camper.

You'll consistently get 8 secs to 100 mph too
