12.4 is a really good time. Looking at the Stage1 gains I would assume that with some octane good tyres and a better 60ft one could run a 13.4 with it. If I compare the Stage1, 125i to that of a stock F30 335i (8 Speed Auto)they become very close in performance the F30 is about 0.25sec quicker to 100km/h and only about 0.15sec quicker on the 1/4mile but the exit speed is almost identical. Which means that what the 125i loses on the pull away to 100km/h it gets back up top, which also shows how light this car is and this is a 6MT, 125i.
So although the 335i is heavier than the 125i end of the day the 335i is still 225kw and the little 125i is 160kw + Stage1 JB, I assume that with the JB its close to 197kw's. Now couple this engine with a downpipe, stage2 and with ethanol/race fuel one could easily get +50hp which should take you in the region of 235 fly kw. These cars even the F30 with 8 Speed Auto can easily cut a 2.1sec 60ft on street tyres so with a good driver with 250kw as in QQ car which only weighs 1365kg's its possible to run in the high 12's easily. When I get the 6MT to Stage2 I will take it out to the track and see if I can get close to 12.4. Remember these 4 Bangers boost up to 23Psi on the race map.
Stage 2 BETA Map Guide
Map 0: Stock performance, JB4 off
Map 1: Peak boost 20psi, suitable for stock and mildly modified cars on pump gas
Map 2: Peak boost 21psi, suggested for those using a downpipe and 93 octane (USA) or higher fuels
Map 3: Progressive methanol mapping, coming soon
Map 4: Stock performance, JB4 on
Map 5: 320i/520i map. Peak boost 17psi.
Map 6: User definable map. Suggested for troubleshooting by professionals only.
Map 7: Race gas map. Peak boost 23psi. Requires straight race gas or an E85 mix of 50%. If using E85 you also need our FlexFuel connector installed. This is a fairly aggressive map and increases engine damage risks.

Please Provide the link to the proof , does it contain timeslips?
With more than 300kw(flywheel) it's difficult to break into the 12s .
Example:
Rob Green's 500+kw monster does a quarter mile in 12.2secs . See link below.

No disrespect here, I understand exactly what you mean and these are facts above 500kw = 12.2sec but I surprised myself recently with a Golf7 Gti with 2000km's on it, it fitted Hoosiers filled in a cheap octane booster (R80) and made up my own induction at the track (it came off on the last run, Lol) and ran a 13.9 at Isithebe and thats with a 16xkw car. When we were racing E46 M3's some used to run this time and thats 252kw's. Btw, QQ is at the Coast the 125i will def never run 12.4 in Jhb.
