240D video 0-60


I just shot this 0-60 run of my 240D 4 spd manual w tach and sent it in from my phone. Can you time it and tell me how many seconds? Start when you see the speeo starts moving. I am not the world's best shifter.Any pointers in lowering the times?

Not bad at all! Looks like about 16-17 seconds or so to 60....that's pretty darn good for a 240d!

There's about 100 lbs in the trunk so I think I can do better if I empty it.
