    Cool vid man! But for a better result you need to hold launch control 2-3 sec, I did that and had 5.4 sec!

      Thanks bro! I still need to retest this with better tyres too. Will give that a try.

    Did u warm up ur tyres first? My best is 6.3s stock using launch control. I can never hit the factory output

    • @The_Carbon_Connection
      @The_Carbon_Connection  Год назад

      Yup warmed them up. I’m certain I can get better times with better tyres and some practice! Watch this space 😁

    I have a 530 d xdrive which is 0-100 k in under 5.5 .Whilst it`s a heavier car,it`s 4 wheel drive,so I think that makes the difference,certainly no tyre squeal on take off.Also had a Merc 400d cls 4 matic 0-100k 4.8 with 340 bhp and 700 n/m torque,no tyre squeal,just grunt on take off.Am I right in assuming the 330 d is rear wheel drive?.

    • @The_Carbon_Connection
      @The_Carbon_Connection  Год назад

      X Drive makes all the difference! Unfortunately we didn't get them here in SA. All rear wheel drive for the F series.

    I have a similar struggle!
    Diesel Torque, RWD and launch generally does not go well together 

    • @The_Carbon_Connection
      @The_Carbon_Connection  Год назад

      Will definitely figure out a better launch strategy. Thanks for watching!

    i think the car needs a bit wider tires, what size do you have?
    I got 225 tires and they spin to easy.
    Next time i wil try a wider one.
    My last car was an E350 CDI that also had a lot of torque.
    The summer tyre was a staggered setup with 265 on the rear.
    I could realy feel the difference switching from the narower winter tyres.
    The 265 could handle the torque much better

    • @The_Carbon_Connection
      @The_Carbon_Connection  Год назад

      Definitely a possibility. Currently running 255/35 at the rear.

      ,one would say 255 should be beafy enough to put the power down. A good premium brand tire is always an improvement

      I've put a set of Goodyear Eagle F1s on now. I'll retest soon 😁

    Launch it for first time the other day, got a great launch, tried it twice after and just pure wheel spins lol, but mine is 300hp~

    • @The_Carbon_Connection
      @The_Carbon_Connection  Год назад +1

      The launch control seems to be quite temperamental on these. Sometimes great sometimes terrible.

    why does the car shift so early at 4500, can it not stretch to 5000-5500?

    • @The_Carbon_Connection
      @The_Carbon_Connection  Год назад +1

      It sure can. Must be a software thing where the computer feels that is the optimal shift point. Could also be due to traction. I wasn't in manual mode.

      @stardawg Год назад +1

      @@The_Carbon_Connection could you do a test in manual ? doesnt have to be videoed but just curious. Or even in manual will it still shift at 4500?

    • @The_Carbon_Connection
      @The_Carbon_Connection  Год назад

      Will definitely shift higher than 4500 in manual. I still need to do another 0-100 test with better launch tactics and new tyres. Hopefully I'll get down to it soon.

    Hi. You could try launching in 2nd gear

    • @The_Carbon_Connection

      Thanks man! A few people have told me this as well. I'll give that a try.

    Traction is your biggest issue. You need perfect conditions, good tires and loads of runs to get the perfect run

    • @The_Carbon_Connection
      @The_Carbon_Connection  Год назад

      Yup I agree. Very difficult to get everything to come together for a good run.

      Mid 5s??? Hectic. Do you have draggy times to show us or are you using different timing equipment. We don't get a 325d here in SA lol.

      Hi there! If there are no mistake in model of Your car i think it is something wrong with it... I have a 2015 F330d, on GPS 0 to 60 = 5.7 sec. (Try to get it with your lounch control).
      There are many of N57 single turbos films on YT - (3er, 5er etc.) in UK, Germany, Netherlands. There is no way that those cars comperred to other German cars are so low on power, your car should beat or draw in a race with any Golf GTi (200bhp+). You have my SUB, greets from Poland!

      Hi. Thanks for the feedback and for subscribing! Definitely nothing wrong with the car but rather poor launches on my side and really bad tyres. Will try again soon!
