I'm guessing because they launch so good. Mat Watson car wow video shows this very well .and once the jb4 is turned on it leaves the stock m2 from a launch takes it down to 11.7 your car just seemed slow for some reason. (just for info really my last 2018 F22 I got a 3.89 with a blue spark box fitted using dragy and its a valid run ,that car made 426bhp and 601 nm stock otherwise. this was brake boost launch with lots of wheelspin)
3000 DA will do that every 1000 DA you lose 5% of performance

I can recall from a couple of his videos , he struggled to get perfect traction and launches.

Even if you only spin wheels for a second , that gives all the advantage to the other car.

And as far as getting a higher octane - you do what - add a few 100 octane race gas gallons , then add a few 91 gallons ?

As others have pointed out, is there indeed a race map specifically for 91?

According the stats the M240i rear wheel drive variant weighs in at .
1,635 kg (3,604 lbs)

The g87 M2 weighs in heavier at 3968 lbs / 1800 kg.

The xdrive g42 weighs in at
3911 lbs / 1774 kg

this shows that the M2 is the heaviest out of the 3 .

E30 is safe to run without a tune
I mixed 100octane with 91 and calculated mixture to be at 93
But when it ran out i just filled up 10 gallons of 91 and filled 3.4 gallons of E85

You can run up to E35 without a tune, you can also run 100 octane gas, but without a specific map for these fuels, you are not gaining much
