anyone else raced their m3 at Los Angeles County Raceway? i've got a 2002 m3 convertible with SMG and I've been racing there for a while now and I can't get any better than 14.9. I heard that the altitude may do something to slow down your time, but not that much. I'm using sport mode w/ launch control. Thanks

Altitude should not be a factor, unless you are 5k feet up or more.

14.9 is very slow for an E46. You should be well below 14 seconds, even assuming a novice technique.

What other data on your run can you give me, i.e. trap speed, reaction time, 1/8 mile, etc.?

It sounds like you are not getting traction at the launch. Have you tried it without the launch control? In a different transmission mode?

The E46 M3 guys should be able to tell you how to launch with SMG. Us left-foot guys have no clue how to use that thing. [:)]
