Your DA is high, which means less than ideal conditions for a run. Try again when it's not so hot out.

I had to look it up.....
--Density Altitude in Drag Racing In the realm of racing, a general rule is that with every 1,000 feet increase in Density Altitude (DA), a normally aspirated motorcycle tends to decelerate by nearly a tenth of a second in the quarter-mi le (approximately eight hundredths, specifically 0.08).-- I didn't know either, but I saw the 95 degrees and thought that is WAY too hot to be doing pulls looking for a PB (personal best) |

Almost 100 degrees outside. Probably wouldn't expect the car to run it's peak fastest.
However, a 4.26 0 to 60 is a fair amount slower than our optimal 3.8 seconds Dumb question as I'm sure you would have mentioned it - but did you run Draggy before all your mods ? |

Zero to 30 mph gives a good indication.
My car is always in the 1.3 second bracket. I would say there are very few cars regardless of price or power that are significantly quicker than an M240i X-Drive out off the blocks. |
