Is it my imagination or...

...is my car faster now that it's warmer?

328i w/sport package, I feel like now that the warmer weather is here, the tires grip better and grab the road better when I punch it (while I'm driving). Talking mostly straight line here, not the twisties. Or maybe I'm just imagining things...

wouldn't cooler actually help run faster? colder air?

mine's been sluggish regardless, even after recall

Generally with the warmer weather, tire compounds will grip a bit better.
