very nice!!!!


now go change ur sig


matt, check this out:

the 6spd tl just hit 14.21sec in the 1/4 mile bone stock courtesy of jeff at vtec.net

heres an excerpt:


"I then moved on to the TL. My first pass was a 14.66 or something like that. I was having trouble getting out of the hole with any sort of respectable 60ft time. And each pass was getting worse until i saw a 14.89 (!!) YUCK!. Then i tried something else and the next pass was a 14.40@98. Much better. Then I made one more pass and it seemed like it was going to be another 14.6. It didn't feel anything like a perfect run. Well, it turned out to be a 14.21 at just under 98mph. SHEESH!!

No doubt about it, that car is freaking fast.... My 60ft time was a 2.16 (after a bunch in the 2.4-2.6 range). With a bit more grip off the line the car might be able to pull a 14.1 or even a 14.0 - we ran stock tire pressures, actually probably a little higher than stock. With drag radials it would probably be in the 13's. "

wasnt some guy at hotbimmer or one of the other bmw forums able to run a 14.1xx with a stock 03 cl-s 6-speed? im sure that 14.2 could be lower with an even better driver.

From the couple of dyno's done so far it looks like they are making the advertised 270hp. Oh, and if I was able to pull a 2.16 60' I would be running 14.2 bone stock. The TL has 235/45 tires, so grip should be better than the Mishitlins we get.

Nice. Thats a very very sharp looking car. Best of luck with it.

Also the TL rims look like they belong on that car, just didn't look right on that CL somebody put them on. IMO.

naw man...I told u guys vins car is fucking fast. Also on the TL site...someone dynoed an 04TL auto and got 219 at the wheels...then put in the K+N flat filter and got 225HP at the wheels. An 04TL auto that is driven well will smoke a CL-S by at least a car. Wait til March 27 cause I'm gonna drive Vins car a couple of times and I'll prove it. I guarrentee (spelled wrong) the car is capable of atleast a 14.4 stock!!!!!!

yea that 270 isn't really 270. I'm thinking 280-290 atleast.

A 6 speed dyno'd 230'ish I believe on a dynapack, so thats maybe 5-10hp more than a CL-S6.
